The medieval murals in the Church of the Virgin Mary and in the Chapel of St. Catherine in the Marian Tower at Karlštejn Castle are one of the pillars of the story of art history in the former lands of the Czech Crown and, at the least, in all of Central Europe. The most recent restoration survey, carried out in 2018 and 2019 with the objective of determining their current condition, has brought a number of new findings that have the potential to shift and correct existing interpretations in many ways. It turned out that the paintings and other artistic decorations in both sacral places were created in more or less two phases, the first of which was...

This article describes the procedure and methods of restoration research of the wall decoration of the sacral premises of the Marian Tower of Karlštejn Castle, realized in 2018 and 2019. Although these decorations are one of the basic art milestones in the Czech Republic and in Central Europe, their detailed evaluation and interpretation by a restorer has yet to be carried out. Questions of painting techniques and other decoration techniques have remained marginal. Detailed research is the first and essential step in this direction. Its importance is not only research-oriented in nature, but it is crucial that it is as comprehensive as possible, since...

The technique of wall paintings of the sacral premises of the Marian Tower of Karlštejn Castle

Zprávy památkové péče 2019, 79(4):421-440 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2019.4.04  

The present study deals with the technology of the murals in the Marian Tower of Karlštejn Castle, based on restoration research carried out in 2018-2019. The primary objective of the research was to determine the condition of the murals in the Church of the Virgin Mary and in the Chapel of St. Catherine; on another level, the research was aimed at describing the technical and technological aspects of the examined paintings. In the Church of the Virgin Mary, one of the most interesting findings is the uniform orange-ocher imprimatura that applies to all the paintings with medieval plaster throughout the Church of the Virgin Mary. The scenes discussed...

Gilded plastic decors in the Church of the Virgin Mary, in the Chapel of St. Catherine, and in the connecting corridor at Karlštejn Castle

Zprávy památkové péče 2019, 79(4):441-457 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2019.4.05  

Asking questions about the concept of the interior of Karlštejn Castle, its function, and the related interpretation of its decorations are among the constitutive themes of Czech art-historical medievistics. The question has been, and will continue to be, addressed from many different perspectives and from various methodological positions. This article attempts to at least partially answer questions on the basis of material and technological analyses of the decoration procedures used. Its main results include evidence of the uniform character of the plastic decoration of the Church of the Virgin Mary and the Chapel of St. Catherine, a relativizing...

Karlštejn Castle consists of five separately fortified parts. The agricultural basis and castle administration were concentrated in the first two lowest situated parts. A longitudinal palace with a cylindrical tower was situated in the third part, which was originally intended to serve the court of Charles IV during his stay at the castle. Only the prismatic towers in the castle's dominant position were initially intended to represent the royal pair. Both towers were built as residential palaces.The castle was founded around 1348 and gradually grew from the agricultural part with cistern and the entrance courtyard with the Burgrave's house. The...

A characteristic theme of the Neo-Gothic renovation of Karlštejn Castle is its wooden hoarding. The architect Friedrich Schmidt proposed this design on the Great and Marian Tower in early 1888, deviating considerably from his original 1870 project. What prompted Schmidt to make such a major change has not yet been examined in detail; nonetheless, it largely determines the current architectural character of the castle and has always been one of the main points of criticism of its purist reconstruction. This article summarizes the evolution of Schmidt's proposals for roofing the Great and Marian Tower of Karlštejn Castle in 1887-1888 and lists the reasons...

"A Flaming Star That Enlivens the Soul." Iconography of Napoleon's Messianism in the Visual Arts of the First Republic and France's First Empire

During France's revolutionary years of the late 18th century, French society went through a phase of religious discontinuity. The obvious manifestation of this was the prohibition of Christianity and the introduction of new revolutionary cults which, as later development showed, turned out to be merely ephemeral projects. After the proclamation of the Consulate of Napoleon Bonaparte, the vacant space in the spiritual life of divided French society would be filled by a new civil religion which restored Christianity to its official position as the faith of most French citizens. Under the baton of the First Consul Bonaparte, however, this religion was...

Stucco decoration of the rear passage of the Červený Hrádek Castle near Jirkov - iconography, sources of inspiration, and the question of the relationship of stucco modeling and coloring in the early Baroque period

Kateřina Adamcová

Zprávy památkové péče 2019, 79(4):507-520 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2019.4.09  

The article covers the figural stucco decoration of the vaulting of the rear passage of the Červený Hrádek Castle near Jirkov. This is an important sculptural work that represents the breakthrough period of the Czech Baroque in the 1880s, during which trends based on the Berninian concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk began to penetrate the Czech lands to a greater extent. The impulse for this article was the recently restored stucco decoration; it revealed not only interesting findings on the specifics of the materials used and the technology of processing these stuccoes, but also the possibility to newly evaluate this work in light of its comprehensive...

Houses of Culture as an architectural and monumental theme using Ostrava as an example

Zprávy památkové péče 2019, 79(4):521-536 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2019.4.10  

Ostrava is one of the cities where a network of factory clubs and Houses of Culture was established during the 1950s; their cultural mission coincided with the development of the area's heavy industry, the construction of new socialist cities, and with the ideology and propaganda of the regime. The introduction of the article deals with three factory clubs and continues by focusing particular attention to three large Houses of Culture. The first of them was designed by the Studio of National Artist Jiří Kroha for the Stalingrad-Bělský les housing estate in Ostrava-Zábřeh. The project originated in 1952, with the Klement Gottwald New House of Culture...

Zprávy památkové péče 2019, 79(4):537-542 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2019.4.11  

The article deals with the issue of Building Information Management (BIM) and the possibilities of its use in heritage care. BIM is introduced on a general level, followed by a discussion of its specific aspects (individual levels of detail, etc.). The authors further describe the current state of development of this technology in the Czech environment, e.g. the issue of BIM standardization in the Czech Republic, while it is stated that, from the point of view of building information management, the specific needs of heritage care are not given sufficient attention. Nevertheless, it is still possible to work effectively with BIM models in heritage...

Restoration of the sacristy mobiliary of the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Brno

Zprávy památkové péče 2019, 79(4):543-548 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2019.4.12  

The article summarizes the current state of research on the sacristy in the Jesuit Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Brno. In 2015, a joint project of the College of Restoration from Brno and the Goering Institute in Munich researched the sacristy's mobiliary and surveyed the archive thoroughly to determine the dates of the mobiliary. Since its creation over 250 years ago, the entire sacristy has escaped the interest of researchers, despite its rich decoration and furnishings. The study contains the conclusions of the survey, including the dating of the sacristy as confirmed by both archival sources and dendrochronological analysis. The...
