Seven Corporal Works of Mercy and Seven Deadly Sins in Czech Medieval Arts
Eichlerová, Eliška ; Vymazalová, Marie (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
The bachelor's thesis will deal with the theme of the seven-corporal works of mercy and the seven deadly sins in Czech fine art. These opposing themes develop primarily in a middle-class environment, where they were supposed to appeal to the moral life of the middle-class people. The first part of this thesis will discuss the development of the doctrine of the seven deadly sins in the Middle Ages. The variability of approaches to the seven sins will also be revealed by a comparison with the development of the doctrine of the virtues, where it is also possible to show the starting points for the formation of the medieval teaching on the seven-corporal works of mercy. The second part deals with the analysis of individual sins and acts of mercy, their meaning, and the way they are depicted. In the third part, I will also focus on individual examples of the depiction of this iconography in European art, and we will mention a few important works, especially from the High and Late Middle Ages. Following on from European art, the last chapters will focus on individual examples of the seven-corporal works of mercy and the seven deadly sins in the Czech environment, especially in the book painting and monumental mural.

Weissová, Karolína ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
The new era begins for the civilized world in the 8th century. This empire gains its importance thanks to Frankish kings.

At the beginning there is a significant different between failing Merovingian dynasty and quickly increasing Carolingian dynasty on the other side. In this moment we can see the government of incompetent and lazy kings and on the other side the new charismatic persons who are interested in inside politics of empire and its protection. Charles Martel and his son Pepin the Short are one of those persons. One distinct feature of the reign of Charlemagne is the connection of rising legacy of ancient culture and Christianity. The perfect example of educated man of this time is Einhart who was really knowledgeable of the ancient world but he was also a significant Christian scholar. We can find signs of real culture life, art, language and literature of the time in his work. That is just one reason why his work is invaluable. His record of Charlemagne life from his close proximity is helping us to see the overall picture of this time. Charlemagne's reign had an influence on the whole Europe. Huge territory of Europe was unified during his time. He quickly conquered...
