A Quiet Valley at Roztoky: Testimony of Singularity in the Landscape Imagery of Zdenka Braunerová by Zdislava Ungrova A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Art and Art History College of the Arts University of South Florida Major Professor: Elisabeth Fraser, Ph.D. Sheramy Bundrick, Ph. D. Helena Szépe, Ph.D. Date of Approval: October 25, 2019 Keywords: Bohemia, woman artist, nineteenth century, Prague, Paris, Czech art Copyright © 2019, Zdislava Ungrova ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank my advisor Dr. Elisabeth Fraser for her kind support and patient advice. Her guidance through this thesis and numerous past projects was instrumental in my advancement as an art historian, and for that I will always be grateful. I would also like to express my gratitude to my two readers, Dr. Sheramy Bundrick and Dr. Helena Szépe. Their valuable feedback on my thesis is very appreciated, as is their continuous encouragement throughout my studies. Additionally, I am thankful to Dr. Esra Akin-Kivanç and Dr. Maria Cizmic for their inputs which expanded my perception on the researched subject. My sincere thanks goes to the employees of the Central Bohemian Museum in Roztoky u Prahy. My research could not have been successfully completed without their kind assistance. Their responsiveness and willingness to help me is very appreciated. Special thanks belongs to the wonderful Mr. and Mrs. Halas, who welcomed me to their home and shared their stories with me. I will always cherish our conversation which revealed to me the culture of Zdenka Braunerová’s era. I am also grateful to my mom Jana, my aunt Martina and my sister Gabriela. Without their enthusiastic search for out-of-print material and our discussions about Braunerová’s art, my research would lack personal element. Finally, I would like to thank all of the art history faculty and my graduate colleagues, who expanded my understanding of the art history. I am especially grateful to Ashley Williams and James Cartwright for tirelessly rectifying my use of the English language in numerous drafts and presentation texts.
