Summary/Abstract: The essay is dedicated to the Pieta of Všeměřice, important sculpture of high quality from the beginnings of the Late Gothic art in the Czech lands. On the basis of the formal analysis of the works of Master of Týn Calvary, of the summary of research in art history of his work and investigation of a few preserved archival primary sources to this theme the author draws a new conclusion that the Pieta of Všeměřice was created in the 1420. The essay argues for the thesis that the author of the Pieta was either Master of Týn Calvary himself in the late stage of his creation or some of his excellent collaborators.
