Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to synoptically introduce students to the development of history of European and Bohemian fine arts from the late 17th to the close of the 18th centuries. The course is an inseparable part of the system of lecturing history of fine arts on the bachelor?s study level, which - in the case of the fields Documentation of Historical Monuments and Cultural History - closes with final state examination. In general, students are thus being prepared to their future professional assignments in accordance with their selected study field. They can subsequently employ the acquired overview in practice or in the follow-up stages of their further studies. Students follow up with the acquired knowledge in the continuing course of art history V (or, eventually, also in the optional part VI) and will employ it in their future practice depending on their specific professional assignment. The students of the subject Documentation of Historical Monuments can mainly employ the acquired knowledge for the sake of broadening their knowledge acquired by attending the subject History of Architecture. The students of the subjects Cultural History and Aesthetics can perceive the graduation of the art-historical courses as one of the main pillars of their bachelor?s studies.
The graduates of the course demonstrate basal knowledge of cultural and historical developments from the late 16th century to the period around 1780. They can synoptically characterize the cultural development of the European continent and of the individual developmental stages of Baroque style, with increased emphasis laid on the Bohemian milieu. They are also familiar with selected works of art and architecture dating to the given period and are capable of identifying and precisely dating and classifying them in the framework of the individual artistic styles.
Prerequisites
1. The graduation from the subject does not unconditionally require previous graduation from another discipline. However, it is advantageous if students have successfully graduated from the subjects Art History I, II and III. 2. It is also beneficial if the students can work with foreign-language professional literature (in German and/or English). The students are also expected to have historical insight at least on the level of secondary-school curricula in the field of history.

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
Students are required to participate in the education, to manage studying the recommended literature and, eventually, issue an assigned independent work in the framework of the subject.
