MACHOVÁ, Markéta
The bachelor thesis is dedicated to the churches of St. Peter and Paul and St. Florian in Kaplice. The author will deal with the urbanism of the churches in her thesis, as the church district lies at the very end of the historical centre. She will present the history of the town of Kaplice. She will map the building history of both churches; for the Church of St. Peter and Paul from its possible form in the 13th century to the major reconstructions in the 19th and 20th centuries that gave St. Peter and Paul's its present form; for the Church of St. Florian, she will map the building history from its construction at end of the 15th century to the modifications during the 20th century. For both churches, the author will place the churches in a typological context, describe the decoration and furnishings of both churches and attempt an iconographic analysis of selected objects. Next, she will try to suggest a possible function of the smaller church of St. Florian and finally she will briefly describe the grounds of the churches. The aim of the present bachelor's thesis is to present both of these churches and to produce a coherent work that charts the development of these churches.

The Pilgrimage Church of Our Lady in Kájov and its liturgic equipment in the Late Middle Ages
BERNARD, Markéta
The aim of the bachelor thesis will first be a brief summary of the late medieval construction development of the Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Maria in Kájov. The student will also summarise the existing knowledge of the preserved mobile late medieval equipment of the church, which is stored in various museums and galleries. Finally, in her text, the author will try to create a hypothetical reconstruction of the original appearance, or liturgical use of the late medieval sacral interior of a major South Bohemian pilgrimage church. It can use a number of newer studies not only for the late medieval art of Southern Bohemia, but also texts about the later Baroque glory of the Kájov pilgrimage complex. It will also be able to rely on some detailed foreign studies on the issue of the authorship of the statue of Our Lady of Kájov from around 1500 or texts to the newly discovered Kájov indulgence plates.

Kutná Hora Antiphonary from the prague workshop of Valentine Noh of Jindřichův Hradec
Kořenková, Nikola ; Kubík, Viktor (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
The goal of this work is a monographic treatment of the Kutná Hora Antiphonary (Prague, NK XXIII A 2) from 1470-1471 in the context of the Prague workshop of Valentine Noh of Jindřichův Hradec. Its creator belongs to the generation of illuminators who helped to integrate, transform and overcome the heritage of the beautiful style tradition. The newly emerging style system significantly influenced book painting of the second half of the 15th century and the early 16th century. The work is based mostly on a combination of formal and iconographic analysis. The outcome of this work should be a refinement of the information on decoration and a summary assessment of the significance of the Kutná Hora Antiphonary for the development of book painting in our territory in the 2nd half of the 15th century and the early 16th century.

Tree Chamber in the castle of Bechyně
FIALOVÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis deals with the space and decoration of the so-called Tree Chamber in the castle of Bechyně. The interest of Tereza Fialová is confined to the person of the builder Ladislav from Šternberk, who let the chamber present like an allusium of the natural environment. The unclear function of the uniquely conceived space is interpreted on the basis of comparison with the other areas of the settlements of the significant aristocratic families in the territory of southern Bohemia. Another part of the bachelor thesis is a material examination of the space, which results in the research of the preserved decoration, the analysis of the used material and the documentation of the stone stamps. Particular attention is given to the potential architect of the chamber, Wendel Roskopf, whose authorship is verified on the basis of an analysis of his life-work and artistic expression in connection with the decorative concept of the stone decoration. The bachelor thesis is closed by the definition of the theoretical sources of the naturalistic imitation of the natural motives in late Gothic sacral and profane architecture.

An annotated translation: Natural Forms, in: Ethan Matt Kavaler, Renaissance Gothic. Architecture and the Arts in Northern Europe 1470 - 1540. New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2012, pp. 199-229. (ISBN 978-0-300-16792-4)
Ramešová, Michaela ; Brotánková, Šárka (advisor) ; Kalivodová, Eva (referee)
(in English): The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to translate a part of the chapter Natural Forms from the book Renaissance Gothic. Architecture and the Arts in Northern Europe 1470 - 1540 written by Ethan Matt Kavaler, a Canadian professor of art history. In the commentary that follows the translation the author considers the specific factors that have influenced the genesis of the original. Then, she analyses its lexical and stylistic features and characterizes the text as an essay of considerable qualities. Drawing upon the analysis the author describes the translation problems and the translator's strategies employed to solve them. She attempts to identify the translation shifts and discusses the reasons of their occurrence. It is observed that the translation tends to be more explicit, uses more variable language solutions and some solutions of increased expressive intensity. This tendency is consistent with the effort to adapt the translation to the target language culture and to preserve the quality of the original.
