Duchcov: Baroque garden, Baroque landscape?

Sylva Dobalová

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):3-9  

The article details the appearance of the little-known extinct, but still remarkable, Baroque castle gardens in Duchcov. After an initial brief summary of the history of the town and castle, the article deals with the actual formation and construction of the French-style castle garden, which began after 1717. Following upon the discoveries and research of Pavel Vlček, it associates the creation of the garden with a leading figure in the architecture of the first third of the 18th century, F. M. Kaňka. It also considers the participation of J. F. Schor, likely in the construction of the garden's complex water engineering. It also mentions the participation...

Reconstruction of the landscape. The Most Basin in the late 18th century

Kristýna Drápalová

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):10-17  

The article starts by defining the Baroque cultural landscape as formulated by Mojmír Horyna, i. e. a landscape deliberately composed by dominating features placed on exposed areas and interconnected by a sophisticated network of paths and viewpoints. Such a composition is supposed to subordinate the landscape to a higher spiritual order. The study examines this phenomenon using the example of the Most Basin, an area covering around 240 km2. This landscape was devastated during the 20th century, but in the 17th and 18th centuries still had a strong and distinctive identity, being one of the richest and most cultured regions of Bohemia.The area...

Schlick's Baroque landscape

Lucie Rychnová

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):18-25  

The subject of this article is the landscape of the estate of Franz Joseph Schlick (1656-1740) in eastern Bohemia (Kopidlno, Staré Hrady, Veliš, Vokšice). Attention is focused in particular on the composed landscape of the Veliš-Vokšice estate, where a set of chapels was built that were interconnected by viewing axes. Part of this set was also the noble court with a small castle in Vokšice. This landscape composition has received attention in terms of its formal design, but so far the circumstances associated with the actual motivations of their builder have been less examined. The author presents the composition alone as well as presenting the possible...

Handstein for Joseph II - tabletop miniature of the industrial landscape of Central Slovak mining towns

Barbara Balážová

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):26-35  

Within the concept of the early modern age Kunstkammer, in which objects were placed not according to type, but within a network of meanings, and in which not only paintings, sculptures, arts and crafts, antique and exotic coins, medals and valuables, but also e.g. animals, fruits, seeds, rocks and minerals, musical instruments, clocks and technical instruments represented the basic categories Naturalia, Artificialia, Scientifica, and Antiquitatis, the "handstein" was a prime example of a rare object symbolizing mining sites in particular, not only of Europe but also of other parts of the world. Primarily, it was therefore an object that represented...

Baroque sculptures in the landscape: the estate of Jezeří-Nové Sedlo

Kateřina Adamcová

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):36-46  

The article addresses a set of sculptures which originated during the life of the last member of the Jezeří branch of the Lobkowicz family, Oldřich Felix in the early 18th century. The exterior sculpture work of the Jezeří Castle is presented here in detail, especially the monumental portal with the pair of Hercules which was created after the fire in the castle in 1713 and which is almost a contemporary parallel to two outstanding works in Prague, the portal of Clam-Gallas and Morzin Palace. The connection of architecture, the castle garden and natural surroundings, and the sculptural decoration was made up of an extremely impressive Baroque Teatrum...

Baroque sculptures in the Silesian countryside. Between local creation and imports

Jaromír Olšovský

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):47-56  

The article characterizes the share of sculpture works in the character of the rural landscape in Silesia, particularly in the western part of Austrian Silesia during the Baroque period. Even though there was no lack of noble aristocratic residences here, often with Baroque gardens, we can assume sculptural decorations existed here, although almost nothing survived up to the present from this fund of sculptures. One exception is a collection of mythological and allegorical sculptures (from the castle garden in Brantice, now in the collections of the Silesian Museum) of exceptional sculptural quality, created by an unknown sculptor from the circle of...

Boulder or piety. Baroque pilgrimage site Svatý Kámen near Rychnov nad Malší in a Central European context

Martin Gaži

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):57-66  

The study analyzes the transformation of the pilgrimage site of Our Lady of the Snows at Svatý Kámen (Maria Schnee beim Heiligen Stein), built near the south Bohemian border town of Rychnov nad Malší. Using a previously unpublished constructional-historical survey from 1975 as well as recently acquired written and iconographic sources, the study interprets the architectural development of the pilgrimage site differently from the findings of existing professional literature. This "sacred precinct" formed on a pasture surrounded by forests and full of large boulders. In 1633, near one of them, the Rychnov burgher Ambrosius Spuleck received a revelation...

Baroque landscape in and around Rome in the seventeenth century. Architecture and natural location: the case of "Mentorella"

Camilla S. Fiore

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):67-73  

The article deals with Mentorella, a sanctuary in the middle of Tivoli which is closely associated with the legend of St. Eustace. The reception of this legend in the 17th century in the work of Athanasius Kircher is presented here as an example of the Baroque understanding of the wild natural landscape.The first part deals with the legend of St. Eustace as it was known in the 17th century through the interpretation of the original version of the story by John of Damascus. Particular attention is paid to the work of the admirer of St. Eustace, the Jesuit Athanasius Kircher, who in the work Historia Eustachio-Mariana sought to document this legend...

Baroque Architecture of the Ore Mountain foothills

Petr Macek

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):74-86  

The article is a general and chronologically structured summary of the most significant architectural achievements created in the 17th and 18th centuries in the foothills of the Krušné hory, or Ore Mountains. In addition to the well-known achievements, the article also deals with the works of local regional masters and lesser known or overlooked buildings.The beginning of the century saw several realizations in the area that today are under the shadow of "Wallenstein architecture". This is primarily an important building phase in the history of Jezeří and Červený Hrádek castles; the oval shape of the cloister in Bohosudov also likely originates...

Types of rural churches in the 17th century

Rostislav Švácha

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):87-98  

The article focuses on the differences between urban and rural sacral architecture in Bohemia and Moravia between the end of the Thirty Years' War and the 1690's. It begins with the simple assumption that the authors of churches in cities, important pilgrimage sites, and in large monasteries solved tasks of a different nature than authors of churches for villages and rural towns. Churches in the countryside were used by smaller Christian communities than churches in cities, they had a simpler liturgical operation, they did not put as much emphasis on the representation of their builders and patrons as did shrines in busy and frequently visited places,...

Bohemia, a country of ovals - five stops on the oval path through Baroque Bohemia

Jakub Bachtík

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):99-114  

The article takes several chapters to deal with the theme of oval layout in sacral architecture in 17th and 18th century Bohemia, its basis, and methods of use. The introduction deals with the question of whether the issue needs to distinguish the concept of oval and ellipse - it concludes that these are fundamentally different geometric formations, and that in most cases the oval was used in practice.The first part of the article, on the basis of data collected by Jarmila Krčálová, summarizes the basic overview of the development of the central compositions of the 16th century, with an emphasis on the introduction of the oval layout in the tracts...

All Saints of Heřmánkovice: Folk or European Art?

Martin Mádl

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):115-122  

The rural Church of All Saints in Heřmánkovice belongs to a group of churches built at the beginning of the 18th century in the monastery estates of the Benedictine monastery in Broumov. While the interesting and dynamically shaped architecture of the church, attributed to Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, has received deserved attention from art historians, its interior ceiling painting, the work of the Broumov painter Johann Hausdorf in 1736, has been given only a brief iconographic designation. The painting was then understood as a manifestation of semi-folk art.In the history of art, we often avoid deeper evaluative judgements on the quality of art,...

Painting technique between the center and the countryside. The decorations of the All Saints Church in Heřmánkovice from the point of view of the restorers

Jan Vojtěchovský, Barbora Vařejková, David Svoboda

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):123-131  

The aim of this study was to compare the technique of the still unknown regional painter Johann Hausdorf and the renowned Baroque fresco artist Cosmas Damian Asam, who could have been Hausdorf's teacher, directly or indirectly. The comparison was based on an analysis of the results of restoration and science research of two ceiling paintings attributed to Johann Hausdorf and a study of the painting technique of Cosmas Damian Asam at the Freising cathedral by Jürgen Pursche.The technique of the painting and the materials used are not much different between the famous author and his regional colleague. The major difference between the compared paintings...

Medieval Cistercian landscape as a border. Example of Moravia and the Papal State in the beginning of the 13th century

Jana Michalčáková

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):132-136  

The article contribution serves as a certain epilogue to the theme of the Baroque landscape because it opens a large related theme - the cultural landscape in the Middle Ages. The article does not take the form of an authoritative interpretation but rather as a set of questions that should outline the direction of other possible considerations in the attempt to understand this theoretically very under-explored topic. The first part deals with the question of whether there can exist a Cistercian genius loci and its possible foundations in the structure of Cistercian buildings that not only influenced the immediate situation in their surroundings but...

Research historical landscape and protecting archaeological heritage through remote sensing methods

Martin Gojda

Zprávy památkové péče 2017, 77(1-2):137-144  

The current advanced state of development of remote archaeological sensing in many European countries is demonstrated by two important facts: first, the importance that this industry is attributed by archaeologists themselves, and secondly, the international cooperation which is continuously developing is addressing a significant part of the European scientific community and is helping to establish this non-destructive scope on a wider European territory. One of the countries in the postcommunist era (and even before) that has begun, and currently continues, to systematically develop remote sensing and aerial photography for the research of the past,...
