  • The Wallenstein Portrait Gallery
    THE WALLENSTEIN PORTRAIT GALLERY IN THE CHEB MUSEUM A Catalogue of the Permanent Exhibition Cheb 1999 CONTENTS Introduction 5 Eva Dittertová The Wallenstein tradition at the Cheb Museum 7 Eva Dittertová Foreword to the opening of the exhibition, July 27th 1998 8 Danuta Učníková The Wallensteins 10 Stanislav Kasík The family portrait gallery 19 Pavel Blattný Notes on the choice and ordering of the paintings 23 Pavel Blattný The catalogue 25 Pavel Blattný Appendices: The 1749 inventory of paintings from Mnichovo Hradiště château 60 Specialist terms 62 Pavel Blattný Analogies, models, variations 65 Pavel Blattný Lucas van Valckenborch 73 Pavel Blattný Frans Luycx 74 Pavel Blattný 3 INTRODUCTION Eva Dittertová The departure point for the creation of this catalogue was the thesis completed by Pavel Blattný for the Institute of Art History of the Philosophical Faculty of Charles University, Prague, in 1997. His theme was somewhat wider, of course, being concerned with the problematique of the development of the representa- tive, noble portrait in full length in Central Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, and the family gallery of forebears. The Wallenstein Collection served in this thesis as an example of the complex problems that such galleries of family forebears present in terms of Baroque historicism in Bohemia. The first demonstrable Wallenstein „family gallery“ is mentioned at Duchcov in 1731, the second at Mnichovo Hradiště in 1749; the latter ran to 16 pictures, and it is interesting that of the rich choices available among the members of the Wallenstein family, it covers virtually the same range as the Cheb collection (see the 1749 inventory from Mnichovo Hradiště).

  • Baroque Architecture
    Baroque architecture Alena Šolcová Faculty of Information Technology CTU in Prague December 14th, 2018 Baroque architecture • Architectural style originating in late 16th-century Italy and lasting in some regions, notably Germany and colonial South America, until the 18th century. It had its origins in the Counter-Reformation, when the Catholic Church launched an overtly emotional and sensory appeal to the faithful through art and architecture. • Complex architectural plan shapes, often based on the oval, and the dynamic opposition and interpenetration of spaces were favoured to heighten the feeling of motion and sensuality. • Other characteristic qualities include grandeur, drama and contrast (especially in lighting), curvaceousness, and an often dizzying array of rich surface treatments, twisting elements, and gilded statuary. • Architects unabashedly applied bright colours and illusory, vividly painted ceilings. December 14, 2018 Alena Šolcová, CTU in Prague 2 Significant architectors • Outstanding practitioners in Italy included Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Carlo Maderno (1556–1629), Francesco Borromini, and Guarino Guarini (1624–83). • Classical elements subdued Baroque architecture in France. In central Europe, the Baroque arrived late but flourished in the works of such architects as the Austrian Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach (1656–1723). • Its impact in Britain can be seen in the works of Christopher Wren. • The late Baroque style is often referred to as Rococo or, in Spain and Spanish America, as Churrigueresque. December 14, 2018 Alena Šolcová, CTU in Prague 3 Bernini and Borromini • Two main architects of the baroque era were Bernini and Borromini. Bernini's first medium was sculpture. He liked to incorporate lots of it into his buildings.

  • The City of a Hundred Spires Becomes Digital: Bridging the Digital Divide Through the Use of New Media
    The City of a Hundred Spires Becomes Digital: Bridging the Digital Divide Through The Use of New Media ROBERT WARNER Spring 2013 Advisors: MARIA DEPRANO, PH. D. Associate Professor of Art History Washington State University Department of Fine Arts College of Arts and Sciences DAVID HUYCK, Clinical Assistant Professor of Digital Technology and Culture Washington State University Department of English College of Arts and Sciences To the University Honors College: As thesis advisor for Robert Warner, I have read this paper and find it satisfactory. Honors College note: approved via email; 03/11/13 Thesis Advisor Signature Date of Signature Précis This creative project focuses on providing accurate historical information, in an accessible format, for people to visit and learn about the city of Prague, Czech Republic. Prague is a city that has seen significant historical and cultural developments across the past nearly thousand years, and has a number of monuments that reflect these developments. Five separate monuments were chosen for this study: Prague Castle, the Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslas, and Adalbert, the Church of Saint Nicholas, Charles Bridge, and Wallenstein Palace. The history of each location was researched and documented, to provide the content for the second half of the project, the interactive website. The digital divide, which traditionally refers to the lack of a physical connection to the Internet, is not limited to simply wires. Instead, it involves the presence of credible information. While there are several online resources to provide those seeking a deeper knowledge of Prague with where to shop, where to eat, and what tours to take.
