Adoption of Habsburg Portrait Models for Aristocratic Likenesses in the Czech Lands OPEN ACCESS in the Reign of Ferdinand I*
Adoption of Habsburg Portrait Models for Aristocratic Likenesses in the Czech Lands OPEN ACCESS in the Reign of Ferdinand I* Blanka Kubíková In the reign of Ferdinand I of Habsburg, important examples of portrait painting were done in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown. Though few examples of Renaissance portraiture of that period have survived, there are some noteworthy portraits dating from 1526–1564. The paper focuses on the reception of the so-called Habsburg portrait type in portrait painting in Bohemia and Moravia and examines the purpose for which the commissioners used it. Two specific approaches will be illustrated on the portrait cycle of Adam I of Hradec and his family, painted by Jacob Seisenegger and dated 1529, and portraits of William of Rosenberg, his brother and sisters, commissioned between 1552 and 1554. In both cases, the commissioners were persons of the highest rank in Bohemian aristocratic society. KEYWORDS: Renaissance in Bohemia; Portrait Painting; Portrait Galleries; Aristocratic Picture Galleries The portrait is an efficient form of representation for a ruler and his dynasty. Portraiture thrived in the 16th century, its compositional variants quickly developing until popular formulas became established. Other social strata adopted portrait compositions from the highest ruling circles, and in so doing helped to spread and popularize them. The Habsburg dynasty carefully built up its propagandistic image, gradually codifying the portrait depictions of the Emperor and his family in the course of the 16th century. The three-quarter or full-length portrait in contrapposto showing the Emperor as a man of noble rank became most popular.1 Around the 1550s, this type of portrait spread throughout the empire, and certain variants to neighbouring European countries. -

ACTA UNIVERSITATIS AGRICULTURAE ET SILVICULTURAE MENDELIANAE BRUNENSIS Volume 65 126 Number 4, 2017 https://doi.org/10.11118/actaun201765041213 VILLA KRATOCHVÍLE AS AN EXAMPLE OF AN ITALIAN GARDEN IN THE CZECH LANDS Zora Kulhánková1 1Department of Garden and Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Horticulture, Mendel University in Brno, Zemědělská 1, 613 00 Brno, Czech Republic Abstract KULHÁNKOVÁ ZORA. 2017. Villa Kratochvíle as an Example of an Italian Garden in the Czech Lands. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 65(4): 1213 – 1223. The paper deals with an example of the Italian garden applied as a type in the Czech lands. Villa Kratochvíle is one of the very few cases of an independently created Renaissance villa in the territory of the Czech Republic. Its author was an Italian builder coming from the area around Como Lake – Baldassare Maggi and he was commissioned by a significant Czech nobleman, William of Rosenberg. Villa Kratochvíle together with the surrounding landscape is compared with the landscape of lakes around Mantua and Palazzo Te, which is typologically similar. Especially the use of large water bodies is what these two places and their surrounding landscape have in common. Italian arts came to the Czech lands directly with Italian artists – one of them was the garden design. However, it was transformed there by the cultural tradition as well as the geographical location. Keywords: villa Kratochvíle, history of garden design, Czech historic garden, garden design development, Czech Renaissance INTRODUCTION for the ruler and important aristocrats. One of Czech lands had an important position in the most important ones was William of Rosenberg, the political and cultural sphere of Europe in the first who served as the High Burgrave. -
