Iconography of the historical regions in the bohemian visual art from 17th to 19th century

This bachelor thesis is focused on Czech historical regions from the 17th to the 19th century. Mostly on their pictures, which are appearing in the Czech art. The thesis focuses, for example, on a graphic sheet of the university thesis by Antonín Martin Lublinský. And in particular on the thesis of Jan Felix of Brandenstein, which illustrates the fifteen Czech regions paying tribute to Archbishop Jan Bedřich of Wallenstein. From the graphic works I carry on with the allegorical Map of Bohemia in the shape of a rose, which was used as an illustration for the book The Beauty and Wealth of the Czech Lands by Bohuslav Balbín. The next part of this work will lead to the 19th century to the creation of monuments, precisely on the monument of Franz I., also known as the Kranner's fountain. Finally the work focuses on the decoration of the original stage curtain in the National Theater by František Ženíšek. I compare the regions within their illustrations and meaning. I will emphasize especially on the individual shifts that occurred in the context of the ruling Habsburg dynasty, Czech baroque patriotism and national revival
