Bakalářská práce

Abstract:

This bachelor's thesis focuses on the Portrait of the Gem-Cutter Dionysius Miseroni and his family by Karel Škréta. In addition to the art-historical description, the work aims to outline a methodological analysis of the painting using the literature of Svetlana Alpers, Wolfgang Kemp and Alois Riegl. The thesis responds to the existing literature devoted to this portrait. Since the description often includes an assignment to a Dutch or Italian painting, the text includes an evaluation of the Albertian and Keplerian type of painting according to Svetlana Alpers. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the elements of Dutch painting described first by Alois Riegl and later by Wolfgang Kemp, who in this respect focuses on the relationship between the painting and the viewer. The main objective of this thesis is to initiate the use of methodological texts in art-historical practice in order to provide a more complex perspective on specific works.
