Tombstones of the Švamberks of the 15th – early 17th Century from an Art Historical Perspective
 Chlíbec, Jan
Only a fragment has remained from the original collection of the Švamberk family tombstones that was still quite large at the beginning of the 18th century. Surprisingly,\neven though the Švamberks were a prominent noble family, the surviving works usually show average or below-average quality which, as far as the 15th century works are concerned, reflect the prevailing condition of sepulchral sculpture in Bohemia of the time. More factors could have been behind opting for an austere form of the tombstone. In addition to the Utraquist criticism of majestic funeral works and the lack of high-quality stonemasons after the Hussite Wars, it could be the general idea of resistance to pride and accentuation of the confirmation of Christian modesty regardless of the buried person’s confession.\n
