Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to introduce students to written sources informing about the collections of artistic objects, whether works of fine arts or applied arts, on the territory of the Czech Republic, with concern to similar collections held in the neighbouring countries. The course will characterize the individual types of written materials and their development from Middle Ages to the 20th century, while the students will, on practical examples, acquire the skills of seeking, evaluating and interpreting the testimony of these sources and learn to compare it with the surviving group of artistic objects, whether in château interiors, monastery collections or public galleries and museums. The education will have the form of lectures providing the basic characteristics of the particular types of sources, and of follow-up seminars which will lay emphasis on students? work with actual written materials, the interpretation of which will help them, among other things, acquire knowledge from old Bohemian, German and Latin terminology employed in this kind of written sources.
The graduates acquire knowledge and practical skills which help them find and evaluate written sources testifying about the collections of artistic objects, whether held by private, Church or public and state institutions. They are mainly able to correctly and effectively seek sources best answering the questions regarding the origination, development and, eventually, also extinction of collections of fine arts as well as objects of applied arts. They are also able to compare the value of the testimony of the individual types of sources and correctly classify these sources within the cultural development of the Czech lands.
