The mural painting in the castle of Žirovnice
SEVEROVÁ, Markéta
The murals inside the Žirovnice chateau are considered to be some of the most interesting and extensive works of art of the 15th century. Thanks to them, the owner at the time, mining mogul Vencelík z Vrchovišť from Kutná Hora, became part of the same class as his highborn neighbours of the South Bohemian aristocracy. The excellent artist commissioned to create the work has hitherto been referred to in art history literature as the Master of the Žirovnice Murals. The artwork inside the Jindřichův Hradec chateau is also linked to this author, and certain analogies are also present in the murals in the Švihov castle. Thanks to the origin of the submitter of this original medeival work, the Smíškovská chapel in Church of St. Barbora in Kutná Hora is also often referred to when speaking of the Žirovnice murals. Within the Žirovnice chateau, the artwork in the so-called Green Room is very well preserved to this day. This is considered to be a consistent type of secular interior of the late Gothic period, and is thus viewed as the most pronounced material manifestation of the mentality of Czech post-Hussite aristocracy. Some of the earliest so-called Green Rooms can be found in the Blatná chateau and the Zvíkov castle.
