Learning outcomes
Art in the Czech lands during the reign of Jagellonian Dynasty (1471-1526) represents an important chapter in the history of Czech art in the era of the end of late Gothic and early Renaissance. The aim is to acquaint students with the development of architecture, sculpture and painting of the era. Special attention will be paid to the character of Central-European Transalpine Renaissance, where next to stylistically clear Renaissance works of art were often executed art works combining Renaisance style with Gothic style.
Students of the subject obtain the basic knowledge of Czech and Central European Art between 1471-1526.
Prerequisites
Subject is designated for students of Master study of History of Fine Arts.
