The dean church of the Nativity of Virgin Mary in Vodňany. Its building history and adjustments in modern times
MOSEROVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor's thesis is devoted to the building history and modern modifications of the dean church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Vodňany. The construction of the Vodňany church has undergone several reconstructions since its inception. The first mention of the church dates back to 1327, in the first half of the 15th century the building was given a high gothic appearance. An interesting chapter of early modern building development is the presence of the Italian builder Vincenc Vogarelli, who built the north nave. Around 1630, the Marradas family donated a baroque painting of the Virgin Mary of Monserrat to the Vodňany church. After the town fire, the interior of the church was supplemented by a set of late baroque statues during the second half of the 18th century. In the years 1894-1897, the church was converted into a neo-gothic form by the architect Josef Mocker. Today's decoration of the church also comes from the mentioned years, while designs for it were provided by Mikoláš Aleš. Preserved cardboard for stained glass and frescoes comes from his hand. The bachelor's thesis also deals with other monuments in the vicinity of Vodňany, in the decoration of which Mikoláš Aleš participated. The art-historical significance of these monuments is set in the corresponding context of the artist's work.

The Cult of an Artist at the Turn of the Century - A. Rodin and M. Aleš by M. Švabinský
Kučerová, Anežka ; Prahl, Roman (advisor) ; Rakušanová, Marie (referee)
This work focuses on forms of presentation and self-presentation of two important artists living at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries - a Czech painter Mikuláš Aleš and a French sculptor Auguste Rodin. It can be described as the so called cult of both artists, which means a perception of artist as an outstanding genius. This type of thinking about artists and their work was widely spread in the 19th century. Mikoláš Aleš (1852-1913) is known for his individual artistic style which was based on the Czech romantism and folk art, his style also partly anticipates Czech Art Nouveau. Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was one of the most important French sculptors working at the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. He is considered to be a founder of modern sculpture. Many of his statues caused scandals which made him famous and well-known also among the Czech artists. Both artists were highly appreciated by young members of the Manes Association of Fine Artists. This Association was established in 1887, since 1897 the Volné směry journal were published. Mikoláš Aleš became the first elected president of this Association. Members of this Association were highly interested in modern trends in Czech and European art. It may be surprising that young members of the Manes Association were...
