Drdáková, Kateřina ; Vymazalová, Marie (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the iconography of selected works of St. Francis in the 17th and 18th centuries in Bohemia. The work is focused mainly on the paintings that were created and were associated with the development of begging orders during the Reformation of the Church. The first part is devoted to the life and legend of St. Francis, which is the basis for the subsequent processing of individual images. An integral part of the work is also the topic of the origin and development of the begging orders that caused the depiction of St. Francis. Specifically, Franciscans, Minorites and Capuchins. An important chapter is also the piety of the Czech lands in the Baroque period, which demonstrates the revival of the veneration of St. Francis during the 17th and 18th centuries in Bohemia. All the above-mentioned parts provide the basis for the following chapters on specific illustrations. The iconography of the individual scenes is first described in a general depiction, including the world's most important examples. A large part of the work is devoted to individual works associated with the Czech environment. The most represented depictions are Stigmatization of St. Francis, Ecstasy, The Porciunculus Miracle or his Death. Last but not least, the work will focus on the monastery lunette cycles...

Eucharist reverence in the work of art of Darina Gladišová
Zoričák, Ján ; Pučalík, Marek (referee)
The thesis entitled Respect for the Eucharist in the work of Darina Gladišová is a contribution to a deeper knowledge of the reasons for the importance of the Eucharist and respect for it in the Catholic Church. The work of contemporary Slovak academic painter Darina Gladišová is characterized by a Christian theme with a dominant accent on the Eucharist. Among the works with the theme of the Eucharist stands out a cycle of six large paintings called Corpus Christi - the Body of Christ, which was created in 2003 - 2010. The cycle is installed in the refectory of the Franciscan Monastery in Bratislava, Slovakia. The thesis presents the above-mentioned images of the Corpus Christi cycle and theologically interprets them through the bibliography of St. John Paul II. and Franciscan springs. The method of interpretation was chosen on the basis of literary sources about the life and work of the painter, but mainly on personal interviews of the rigorous thesis' author with Darina Gladišová, in which he names the mentioned sources of inspiration. Thoughts concerning the Eucharist are the key throughout of the rigorous thesis.
