Škvorec Castle, Its Importance and Use in the Smiřický Domain

Hana Prixová Dvorská

Průzkumy památek 2019, 26(2):3-22 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2019.2.02  

The article contributes to learning about the Renaissance look of Škvorec Castle, its use and role among the residences of the Smiřický domain. It follows the other residences of the Smiřický family - Hrubá Skála and Kostelec nad Černými lesy castles. Only the entrance section and part of the western wing with the adjacent wall remain from the original four-winged structure. As a result, written historical records and depictions of the castle from the 19th century are important sources of knowledge in addition to architectural documents and reports from building and historical research and archaeological excavations. Because of the low level of the...

The portrait painter and draughtsman Gabriel Müller (1688-1764), also known as 'Kupezky-Müller': Dedicated to his patrons, devoted to nature

Lilian Ruhe

Průzkumy památek 2019, 26(2):23-38 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2019.2.03  

Gabriel Müller (1688-1764) was the son of an Ansbach court blacksmith. He was known by his alias 'Kupezky-Müller' after his master Johann Kupezky. In 1723 he followed Kupezky from Vienna to Nuremberg, where he acquired citizenship in 1734 and married in 1736. His only child was born in 1738. Many of the portraits made in Nuremberg are still known through print. Collecting shells and producing still lifes with shells earned him the nickname "Amator rerum naturalium". From ca. 1713 to 1722, Müller worked as Count Questenberg's court painter in Jaroměřice n.R. The portraits of the Count and his wife discussed here are bound by conventions but excel in...

COMPREHENSIVE NATURAL HISTORY RESEARCH OF THE TECHNIQUE AND TECHNOLOGY OF THE PAINTING BY GABRIEL MÜLLER ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE PORTRAITS OF JOHANN ADAM OF QUESTENBERG AND MARIA ANTONIA OF QUESTENBERG

Monika Košárková, Luboš Machačko, Radka Šefců

Průzkumy památek 2019, 26(2):39-46 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2019.2.04  

The article explores the technique and technology of the painting by Gabriel Müller (1688-1764), a follower and assistant of Johann Kupezky (1666-1740). Two portraits from the collection of Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou Castle were used as examples to examine the painting's technique and technology. Evidence was provided that Gabriel Müller proceeded from the broadly used painting technique on a toned bole underlay. Pigments typical of 18th century painting were identified in the Müller's work of art. The research results provided valuable information for the interpretation of Gabriel Müller's painting style. The acquired data deepened the previous knowledge...

Hardtmuth's Trajan's Column, Kornhäusel's Summer Palace at Schüttel, Engel's completion of Pond House (Jägerhaus), and construction of pavilions belonging to Meierhofs. History of the disappeared and non-implemented structures of Prince of Liechtenstein

Daniel Lyčka

Průzkumy památek 2019, 26(2):47-66 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2019.2.05  

In this contribution, the author focuses on the selected structures which later disappeared or non-implemented structures erected for the field marshal Johann I Joseph, Prince of Liechtenstein and Mikulov, Duke of Krnov and Troppau, Count of Rietberg, etc. by his building directors and architects - Joseph Hardtmuth, Joseph Kornhäusel, and Franz Engel. They include the so-called Trajan's Column on Klein Anninger, later replaced by Phoenix Castle (no longer there), Pond House (Jägerhaus) near Lednice, and the summer palace at Schüttel, Vienna, as well as the pavilions near Meierhofs. Based on the remaining accounts and historical iconographic sources,...

Historical Terminology of Window and Door Hardware of Industrial Production

Martin Ebel

Průzkumy památek 2019, 26(2):67-92 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2019.2.06  

The contribution deals with Czech and German historical terminology of window and door hardware in Bohemia and Moravia up to the 19th century when industrial production replaced hand-made products. Specialised locksmith manuals were published in German beginning with the last third of the 18th century: Duhamel (1769), Zipper (1801-1822), Hölzel (1827); the Czech manuals were published after 1884 (Večeř). Present-day terminology partially differs from the historical one and the meaning also shifted. The hardware types were primarily named after their place of origin. The article deals with the window and door hardware that enabled opening (hinges) and...

Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk in Bystřice near Hroznětín

Jakub Krček, Lubomír Zeman

Průzkumy památek 2019, 26(2):93-110 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2019.2.07  

The Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk in Bystřice near Hroznětín (Karlovy Vary region), a Baroque structure from 1769-1772, was in the state of neglect for a long time. Moreover, it was erroneously called Seitner Chapel for many years. The contribution presents the results of the standard non-destructive building archaeological analysis during the preparation for the chapel's reconstruction, and the probe research and operative documentation of facades, carried out during the perimeter shell restoration. It aims to present the story - to some extent a model story - of small-scale sacral architecture of the Baroque period ranging from the founder's first...

Stylised marbled door and other interior joiner's elements exemplified by two houses in Olšina and Hodňov

Jiří Bloch, Jarmila Hansová, Daniel Šnejd

Průzkumy památek 2019, 26(2):110-118 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2019.2.08  

The entrance door to house no. 6 in Olšina has survived along with the built-in cabinet door and a long plate-holding shelf decorated with folk-style illusive marbling in blue hues. The same decoration was detected on the interior door in the house no. 16 in Hodňov; the door had a blue stencil decor. Such decoration is related to the painted furniture fashion that culminated in the vernacular milieu in the 18th century and reverberated up to the 20th century. Evidence of marbled interior elements is extremely sporadic because they come from villages affected by the expulsion of the German-speaking population after World War Two.
