Dobešová, Michaela Filipa ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Kuthan, Jiří (referee)
Art collection of Flemish and Dutch paintings collected by Vlastislav Zátka Dr. Vlastislav Zátka, a lawyer and businessman, was important in bringing together and organising a diverse art collection. This thesis discusses his approach to art, his perception of the artwork as well as the overlap with the Flemish and Dutch paintings in the collections of the Aleš South Bohemian Gallery in Hluboka , the National Gallery in Prague and private collectors of this circuit , but it also deals with the efforts of Vladislav Zátka to verify purchased art and to, then, include the expert's opinions. The focal point is the carefully charted correspondence of Vlastislav Zátka in the archives of the Aleš South Bohemian Gallery in Hluboka and its analysis. Keywords: Dutch and Flemish paintings Collecting Vlastislav Zatka Landscape painting Still life painting Maritime painting Maecenas / Benefactor Correspondence Art expert authentification Gallery / Art museum
