Šubrtová, Jana ; Kubík, Viktor (advisor) ; Ottová, Michaela (referee)
Painting decorations of the Sedlec Antiphonary manuscript (Prague, NK ČR, XIII A 6) serve as significant evidence for art painting development in Central Europe during the cultural changes, when Late Romanesque style evolved into Gothic. The aim of the thesis is to submit profound art-historical analysis of the Sedlec Antiphonary manuscript, which is stored in National Library of the Czech Republic in Prague, call number XIII A 6. The main method of this work is the careful study of painting decorations in the manuscript, in terms of both analysing their layout in general and typology of the single ornament motifs. Among other methods are formal analysis, comparison based on typology and iconography analysis. Similarities of the manuscript and works of the same time of origin, such as Mater verborum manuscript (Prague, KNM, X A 11) or Wolfenbüttel sketch-book , are also taken into consideration. Due to this comparison could be proved that the author of the Sedlec Antiphonary was probably influenced by Byzantine, Venetian and German painting styles. The Sedlec Antiphonary represents an important and practically key work in the context of painting development in the 13th century. Keywords book painting, miniature, initial letter, Women at the Sepulcher, 13th century

The War of Roses and its Influence in Illuminated Manuscripts at the English Court at the turn of the 15th and 16th Centuries
Kopáčková, Kateřina ; Jarošová, Markéta (advisor) ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to explain the political causes of the civil war, the so-called royal war in England between 1455 and 1487. The struggle for the throne and domination over the land between the Yorks and Lancasters took place throughout England with the support of many notable aristocratic families. The culmination of this war is the union of generations and the arrival of the new Tudor dynasty on the English throne. The main part deals with the symbol of the rose and its heraldic projection on the English courts. In the preserved book painting from Charles d 'Orleans from 1483 and 1492-1500 we can see the heraldic animals of the genera and the symbolism associated with them. We can see the gradual joining of the white York and red Lancaster roses, resulting in the arrival of the Tudor. The painting of the beginning of the Tudor family can be seen in a copy from Hugo de Lembourg of 1487, which depicts the royal wedding of Henry V. and Catherine of Valois. In 1515 Magister Sampson's coins are symbolic Tudorian shrub tree with hidden symbols that are explained in the work. Last but not least, attention is paid to displaying selected monarchs in the form of initials and book paintings.
