Course objectives
The aim of one-semester lecture course is to introduce the basic currents and tendencies in art-historical development of selected chapters of European architecture, sculpture and painting in the early modern period. The course summarizes the development of European art, with an emphasis on the Central European context of the Italian Renaissance (Giotto, Masaccio, Piero della Francesca, Donatello) to the end of the 18th century, when the late Baroque classicism and the Enlightenment mentality was replaced in Central Europe by early classicism of the beginning of the 19th century. Lectures are given in two related lines. The first part provides through selected European artistic development and its protagonists and most important works of art (Italy, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria) the necessary amount of knowledge and information relevant to understanding the history of art in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Second part of lectures follows the basic art-historical developments in the field of architecture, sculpture and painting in the specified period, from the early Renaissance to the late 18th century in the Czech lands. The lectures aim to deal not only with the basic artistic development in the territory of historical Bohemian Kingdom, but also give a focus on artistic events in the secondary crown lands, thus in Moravia and the territory of Upper and Lower Silesia. Lecture course also pays attention to what is happening in the Baroque period in the former Austrian Silesia, comprising also Krnov and Jeseníky regions, which is primarily for the art history still little known. The emphasis is not only on style development in the spirit of the formal history of art, as it formulated the Vienna School of art history, but also on the study of art and artists in the contemporary cultural and historical and social contexts stressing various functions that work of art in these epochs played (social and cultural history of art, E. H. Gombrich, and general cultural history, Peter Burke).
