K. I. Dientzenhofer in the service of Society of Jesus Abstract The Diploma Thesis aims to map the famous Jesuit religious buildings arising in the Czech kingdom by the hands of Kilian Ignac Dientzenhofer, as well as some smaller foundations or now-defunct constructions. Firstly it is the rural residences in Liběšice and the completion of the construction in Tuchoměřice or the dispensary in Smíchov, which has been demolished in 1930. Furthermore, the Holy Mountain Steps, which were only partially implemented according to the Dientzenhofer proposal. The Thesis also includes constructions where the architect's authorship is not proven, such as the Chapel of Sts. Archangel Michael in Kozinec and Chapel of Sts. Cross in Středokluky. An important part is also the effort to put these buildings into the context of the work of the younger Dientzenhofer and to get a closer look at the perception of their clients, including the typology of the architectural order within the function.

Vrbová, Martina ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Jarošová, Markéta (referee)
This Bachelor thesis deals with Renaissance tomb sculpture in Czech lands. The thesis first describes types of Renaissance tomb sculptures and mentions symbols and motifs frequently used in that period as well as manners of figures depicted. These findings are summed up using particular examples of the aristocratic sculpture of the House of Lobkowicz and Pernštejn. Each selected tombstone and epitaph is described and set in the context, while attention is also paid to the history of the church where the sculpture is situated and the family buried. At the end, tombstones of the two houses are compared and set in their historical context.
