PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Adéla

Romantic painting of landscape, interpretation of motifs and personality of German painter are emphasized in this bachelor thesis. There will be selected works of C. D. Friedrich with a focus on motive of the stone and melancholy. Also the theoretical discourse about category of sublime will not be left aside. The main point of thesis will be stone/rock, which has to be confronted with natural science. We can find the stone in many Friedrichs pictures, whether in the form of megalithic buildings or rocks, and ultimately is the basis of the ruins. The conclusion of the thesis is the comparison the symbolism of rocks and megaliths with the symbolism of ruins.
