Význam raně renesanční architektonické skulptury na lombardské a moravské umělecké periferii
The Meaning of Early Renaissance Architectural Sculpture at Lombard and Moravian Artistic Periphery

Summary/Abstract: This case study examines the importance of artistic periphery in the field of early Renaissance architectural sculpture in the years circa 1480 – 1550. The Renais¬sance style spread to Central Europe especially from Italy. In the older historical art literature opinions often emerged that Central European stonemasons did not under-stand the principles of Italian Renaissance art, and because of this misunderstanding they combined Renaissance style with Gothic. The author has undertaken long-lasting terrain research of early Renaissance architectural sculpture in one Central European and one Italian region of artistic periphery: the Moravian part of the Dyje valley and Val Camonica in Lombardy. In both regions were very elaborately stylistically exam¬ined stone decorations of architecture in the years circa 1480 – 1550. When the infor¬mation about client´s social status, travel itinerary was known, also the influence of client on the style of architectural sculpture was researched. On the basis of terrain research, the author comes to the conclusion that stonemasons in the Moravian part of the Dyje valley in the time of early Renaissance created architectural sculptures in the same styles that Italian artists in Val Camonica did: Romanesque Renaissance, a mixed style combining Gothic with Renaissance, early Renaissance architectural sculptures closely following the antique models, early Renaissance architectural sculptures cre¬ated as an innovative modification of antique models.
