Titian, classical mythology and Ovid
Vorlová, Magdalena ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Bažant, Jan (referee)
The thesis examines the classical motifs in the works of Titian. The author focuses on a closed set of works inspired by classical motifs (i.e. motifs of classical mythology), which were created for the Spanish king Philippe II. The thesis deals with the question of possible literary or material sources which could have been at the painter's disposal or could have served as his inspiration. The set of works is defined by themes chosen from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The question is whether Titian based his compositions on their classical version or on a Renaissance adapted or commented translation, or whether he even inspired himself by other classical authors.

Rašovcová, Katarína ; Bažant, Jan (advisor) ; Bouzek, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the selected topics and themes in the work of John William Waterhouse and its aim is to define the influence of classical tradition in his work, which has not been independently scrutinised.

The core of the thesis is in the fourth chapter and consists of selected topics and themes from the work of J. W. Waterhouse: scenes from everyday life, dolce far niente, historical painting, water myths and ancient love myths. Their selection is based on the fashion preferences of displaying the antique motives in the 19th and early 20th century. In particular subchapters of fourth chapter the artist's paintings are compared with the works of his contemporaries and successors in Victorian England and partly in continental Europe. Comparison shows the differences in processing of subject matter, in used techniques, in linkups to the trends in art and in other elements. The end of each subchapter contains the summary of the results obtained from the comparison with the emphasis on the J. W. Waterhouse's contribution to the topic. The final chapters summarize the overall picture of the work of...
