Works by "Netherlandish" masters od the 17th century from the collection of Count Humprecht Jan Černín
Ryantová, Zdislava ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Konečný, Lubomír (referee)
The first chapter of this work deals with the life of Count Humprecht Jan Černín, who was a leading Bohemian baroque art collector. The next chapter describes the formation of the Czernin picture gallery during the life of Humprecht Jan Černín, its development under his successors until it ceased to exist at the end of the 18th century, and a subsequent attempt to restore it. In the third chapter we come to the main theme - the collection of Netherlandish masters. I summarize the extant sources for this part of the collection and I describe its formation. I focus on the masters and themes which are represented in this collection and I examine the role played by Humprecht Jan Černín in their selection. The last chapter describes three paintings by Netherlandish masters from the collection of Humprecht Jan Černín, which have been preserved in Bohemia. I describe the literature relating to these works, their provenance, and also the painter, if we know who it was. I place the main emphasis on the themes of these paintings.

Mathey delineavit. The tombstone of Count Humprecht Jan Černín of Chudenice in light of the written sources (1683–1688)
Vácha, Štěpán
The tombstone of Count Humprecht Jan Černín in the chapel of St Sigismund in the cathedral of St Vitus is one of the unjustly forgotten sepulchral monument of the 17th century in Bohemia. Based on so-far unpublished correspondence from 1683 until 1688, it is possible not only to document the complicated course of the building of this monument but also to determine the designer of the monument who is the prominent architect active in Bohemia in the 1670s-90s Jean Baptiste Mathey. Some hitherto unknown Mathey´s works are newly published here – the altar retables in Stará Boleslav (Altbunzlau) and in Litvínov (Leutensdorf), also the graphic portrait of the prioress of the Discalced Carmelites in Prague´s Malá Strana the venerable Maria Electa à Jesu.
