The symbolism in Michelangelo's The Last Judgement
LAZÁRKOVÁ, Simona
This bachelor thesis named "The Symbolism in Michelangelo's The Last Judgement" is compiled as a theoretically-practical thesis. The theoretical part is based on a description of Michelangelo's most important work and it deals with an analysis of individual parts of the fresco and an interpretation of Dante's Divine Comedy in greater depth. The practical part of the thesis is an authorial realisation of illustrations for a text of Dante's Divine Comedy and draws on sources of inspiration from authorial work of foreign and Czech artists. The resulting art artefact consists of a set of sketch material and 6 final illustrations processed using the drawing-graphic technique of a wash ink drawing. The thesis is also enriched by attached pictures of individual details of scenes of the work The Last Judgement by Michelangelo Buonarroti and also work of artists who illustrated Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.

In my bachelor thesis I deal with portrayal of the Last Judgement in the Czech Republic in 15th -16th century. The first part was conceived as an introduction to Last Judgment - the Last judgment as a socio-cultural phenomenon; causes and history showing the last judgment; iconological-iconographic description of the subject. In the second part I'm devoted to the main topic, portrayal of the last judgment in Bohemia in the 15th-16th century. I'm trying to a compendium of all the works of art in our country, and they are especially frescoes. I also deal with the causes of their emergence, seeking their sources of inspiration and subjugation the iconographic-iconographic analysis. Then compare the individual works, not only among themselves but also with older parts that originated outside our area.

The meaning of ideas about the end of the word in the process of conquest and colonization of America
Brenišínová, Monika ; Křížová, Markéta (advisor) ; Binková, Simona (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to explore the possible influence of the idea of the end of the world on the process of conquest and colonization of America. The author tries to answer this question through the study of selected images of the Last Judgment. The purpose aim of this thesis is not to describe or stylistically classify given works of art, but to interpret them using the methodology based on the semiotic conception of culture as public symbolical system that allows to interpret the culture and its expressions in their social connections. As the topic of this work is related to the question of death and finality, the chosen works of art are interpreted also in connection with A. van Gennep's idea of "rites of passage", which enables to pass from one life stage to another. The main source for analysis is the photographic material, which illustrates images and reliefs of the Last Judgment in their natural environment.
