The Garden as an Aesthetic Object (or as an Art?)
ŠPAKOVÁ, Eliška
This thesis addresses the issue of perception of ornamental gardens as it is discussed in works of contemporary philosophers David E. Cooper and Mara Miller. It will present the question of the garden as a specific aesthetic object, which is different from a natural aesthetic object on one side and an artwork on the other side. The thesis will also ask a question about the reasons why gardens are not considered to be in the area of art, or if and under what conditions it is currently possible to cogitate of gardens as artworks. In the final chapter, based on the previous chapters, the author will present her ideas about the origin of Czech gardens in a Japanese style. This final part deals with characteristics of Japanese gardens and compares them with the European concept of a garden.

Early Baroque Altars in Prague
Kolář, Jan ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Horyna, Mojmír (referee)
ENGLISH ANNOTATION This paper discusses Prague altars that were crafted in the years of early-baroque between 1620 and 1680. It contains a brief outline of the historical period during which - in relation to counter-reformation and recatholization after the defeat of the Estate uprising in 1620 - baroque style had been fully accepted in Czech lands. The church, supported by the state, had made it its goal to restore catholicism in Czech lands and for this purpose it also used the means of arts. The baroque church combined all kinds of arts in its complexity. The main attention of its builders was paid to altar constructions, most often wooden ones. This paper then analyzes the history and typology of the altar and its components - the altar table, the retabulum (altar leg) and the tabernacle (sanctuary). The overall development of early-baroque altars dated from late-renaissaince mannerism to the beginning of top-baroque is discussed, together with the metamorphosis of the altars' architectural concepts, the artistic perfection of the altars and of their decorative elements. Both preserved and some non-preserved altar constructions located in Prague (in the area of Hradčany, Lesser Town, Old Town and New Town) are listed and described in this paper. Furthermore, an account is given of the artists...

Sebastiano del Piombo in public collections of the Czech Republic Sebastiano del Piombo (his own name was Sebastiano Luciani) has been born at Venice in 1485. First art schooling obtained in Giovannni Bellini's workroom and soon he started to appreciate innovative works of Giorgione. Shorty he created his own art style combining Venetian coloristic tradition with monumentality of dimensions and forms. Around the first decade of 16th century he became an independent artist and obtained his first art commissions. In 1511 he went with his first patron Agostino Chigi to Rome. His first commission in Rome was to decorate Chigi's suburb villa. Here he learned that Rome art production is intimate to his own style which he polished in Venetia. Immediately after his arrival to Rome he is confronted with Raphael's artwork and they work together in Villa Farnesina. Later he had befriended Michelangelo who supported his Venetian friend in obtaining new orders and also with his own sketches. Relationship of those two artists is documented in their correspondence to these days. There are two Sebastian's works in the Czech Republic; a painting of a Madonna with a Veil and a drawing of Borgherini chapel decoration in a Rome San Pietro Church in Montorio. Both works are in possession of the Olomouc Archbishopric....
