Transformations of the Great Tower of Okoř Castle. On the issue of research of immovable monuments

Vladislav Razím

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):247-256 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.01

This discussive and methodological article deals with the question of the chapel bearing early Gothic windows on the ground floor of the large tower of Okoř Castle. Based on the author’s research and analysis of existing opinions, it refutes the idea that there was originally an octagonal chapel, the five sides of which were only subsequently incorporated into the 14th century tower. According to the author (using dendrochronological analysis), the tower was built between 1315 and 1320 as a unified construction work, with the chapel windows being put to secondary use as older, early Gothic windows brought to the site from another, unknown location....

Church in the Desert. The construction history of the Church of St. John the Baptist in Chřešťovice near Písek

Filip Facincani, Kryštof Loub

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):257-269 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.02

The aim of the study is to present the construction history of the Church of St. John the Baptist in Chřešťovice near Písek. The research was conceived as a standard non-destructive building-historical survey, the conclusions of which are presented here in a reduced form and using selected archival research. The survey proved that the earliest surviving brick parts of the church, i.e. the north wall of the nave and its northeast corner, date from the 13th century, while the chancel and its present sacristy are only a product of the second or late third of the 14th century. The previously discussed direct or indirect links of the Chřešťovice church...

What did Bohuslav Balbín see during his visit to Děčín? The question of the origin and transformation of the “Dlouhá jízda” pathway in the early Baroque layout of the forecourt

Jan Beránek

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):270-284 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.03

The aim of the study is to critically reassess the existing opinion that the early Baroque concept of the pathway named “Dlouhá jízda”(Long Ride) in the foreground of the Děčín castle is the result of a unified construction completed sometime in the early 1780s, the final form of which was subsequently captured in the well-known veduta of Děčín from 1712. Based on a new critical analysis of contemporary literary sources by the well-known Jesuit historian Bohuslav Balbín, it has been shown that the development was more complex and took place in two separate phases; the first, completed in 1672, and the second, begun in the early 1780s, which...

Construction accounts of the Prague House of the Disabled (1731–1734) and their contribution to the understanding of the everyday aspect of its construction

František Iša

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):285-293 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.04

The text deals with the preserved (and rediscovered) construction accounts of the Prague invalid hospital and their contribution to the understanding of the daily operation of the construction site of this European important military hospital. This specific written source is investigated using the methods of diplomacy and with the contribution of the knowledge of accounting history in order to show, for the correct interpretation of the content of the accounts and their effective navigation, how important it is to know the genesis of the accounts and the persons who participated in their creation. The result is a significant refinement and enrichment...

Petr Parléř and the sculptors of the St. Vitus Lodge

Michaela Ottová

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):294-302 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.05

This paper deals with the question of the authorship of Peter Parléř, magister operis, and the sculptor of the St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague between the years 1356–1397. Existing historiographical constructions either trace Peter Parléř as the author of specific sculptural works or unjustifiably “dissolve” his activity into the impersonal activity of sculptors during the construction. Nonetheless, the internally structured stone sculpture workshop worked under his direction with designs that allow for the recognizability of Parléř’s “corporate” St. Vitus style, but which on the other hand do not exclude unique original...

Adoration of the Three Kings from the North Tower of St. Stephen’s in Vienna. Sculpture between Prague and Vienna in the light of material research

Stéphane Vrablik

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):303-310 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.06

The article deals with the sculpture of the Adoration of the Three Kings from the north tower of St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. It attempts to place the work in the context of the stone sculpture of the Viennese cathedral workshop and its relations with the St. Vitus cathedral workshop in Prague at the end of the 14th century. In addition to the formal analysis, a recent attempt to visually identify the stone material of the sculpture has been taken into account. While the stylistic conception points to the maker’s training in the Prague cathedral workshop, the variants of calcareous sandstone used are characteristic of Viennese production...

On the margin of the early work of Jan Blažej Santini

Martin Šanda

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):311-321 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.07

The paper brings new insights into several of Santini’s Prague realisations of building. The most important of these relate to the unpreserved palace of the Counts of Lissau, where, on the basis of archival and iconographic materials that have not yet been reflected, it has been possible to identify the form of the courtyard facades and to reconstruct the layout of the piano nobile. In Santini’s own house, the interesting arrangement of the alcove on the first floor escaped attention. In the case of the house of the architect’s brother Francis, the paper puts forward the hypothesis that the documented builder Haffenecker may have...

Architects from Bohemia at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in the second half of the 18th century

Kryštof Loub

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):322-329 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.08

The present text deals with several Czech architects who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna during the second half of the 18th century. They include Jan Nepomuk Jiří Palliardi, the Jedlička brothers, Jan Kryštof Fabich, and the painter Josef Ignác Platzer. Apart from Platzer, we were unaware of the academic training of these artists in Vienna. The article does not aim to present an exhaustive list of architects, builders, and other building craftsmen from Bohemia who studied at the mentioned institution but rather to draw attention to a few names from among Czech builders and others whose studies have not been known or have been hitherto incompletely...

Conservation architecture – invisibility in the name of symbiosis (?)

Lukáš Veverka

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):330-339 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.09

The topic of conservation architecture was until recently an almost neglected area of knowledge of the domestic development of architecture and heritage care. The specific position of this architectural layer in the second half of the 20th century is undeniable. However, as far as its evaluation is concerned, it is already quite diverse. The set of buildings themselves, and their possible theoretical background, have not yet been defined in any significant way. The time lapse, the different conception of conservation today and the slowly changing view of post-war architecture thus call for an understanding and evaluation of these buildings and their...

“Sand in the mortar,” “Eagle painted over,” “Who is the real author?” Three excursions into the method of building-historical research applied to the restoration of selected parts of architecture or sculpture works

Kateřina Adamcová

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):340-348 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.10

The article consists of three short excursions presenting only a few minor observations from the perspective of “great” art history. These seemingly marginal testimonies, however, remind us once again of the necessity of our constant openness to the diverse and unexpected information we can obtain when researching a given heritage property. They also remind us that these marginal findings may have more serious implications for our commonly used categories, terms, and received ideas about how works of art were created and what circumstances may have gone into their final form. One of the key concepts characterised by this openness is an...

Medieval wallpaintings from Kozlov in the Karlovy Vary region. A contribution to the dialogue between art history and heritage conservation practice

Petr Skalický, Daniela Prekop Staňková

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):349-364 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.11

The article is devoted to the recently found medieval wall paintings in the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in the village of Kozlov in the Karlovy Vary region. The discovery of the paintings was made inadvertently during the adaptation works in the presbytery, which were stopped afterwards. The authors of the article deal with the identification and basic art-historical classification of these paintings (dating, style, iconography), while at the same time they try to find the basic ideological boundaries for the future concept of restoration intervention. Therefore, they do not focus on the paintings alone, but on the ideological background...

Two approaches to the restoration of the sgraffito decoration at the castle in Frýdlant. A look at different conceptual starting points and possible perspectives in the restoration of sgraffito

Jan Fiřt, Petr Kadlec

Zprávy památkové péče 2024, 84(3):365-375 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2024.3.12

The article is devoted to two recent restorations of sgraffito decoration at Frýdlant Castle. Although the two facades under study are adjacent to each other, a radically different approach was taken in their restoration. The first façade, originally with Neo-Renaissance sgraffito, was restored as part of a rescue action to repair the roof and essentially “repainted”,, while the second façade with Renaissance sgraffito was, on the contrary, conservatively restored and presented in its “old” visual appearance. The paper therefore deals with the current circumstances that may lead to such a different concept of presentation of...
