Dealing with both practical and consequently theoretical aspects, the thesis treats the Saxon Renaissance with the emphasis on the architecture in the Czech Republic. The purpose of the first part was to put together a list of historical monuments. Supported by previous research the selection method was determined and the individual buildings described. As a result we organized them into types and specified the Saxon Renaissance architectural features. Then we discussed broader issues related to the Saxon Renaissance architecture that were: the influence of Saxon timber-framed architecture, the origins and the role of the portal with seat shaped niches in the jambs; we re-examined the importance of the architectural commissions of the house of Pernštejn and we proposed to link the Bohemian Saxon Renaissance architecture with Czech early renaissance terracotta pieces. The second part of the thesis further explores the contextual issues. It tracks the early sixteen century French architecture and focuses on the German renaissance architecture, that of Saxony in particular. Then some theoretical reflections on the character of transalpine architecture are presented. Consequently, the thesis analyses the particularities of the region where the Saxon Renaissance architecture appeared - North-western...

The Castle Fortress of Florian Gryspek of Griesbach in Kaceřov The thesis is focused on the fortification of the Renaissance chateau and its inclusion into the cultural and historical context. The theme is follow up of author's previous thesis which was focus on the architecture and history of Kaceřov. It was described the bastion fortification based on the iconographic documentation. A separate part of the thesis was focused on present form fortifications. There were summarized the possible reasons why Florian Griespek invested into the extensive defense of the representative residence. The author linked the modernization of fortifications in middle Europe with Turkish raids (first half of the 16th century). The author is trying to do fully recapitulation of the historical development of the bastion fortification in Italy and the gradual transformation of individual component into Central Europe after summarizing the literature. It was paid attention to military architects and their literary activity. Based on the Renaissance literature the author focused on the fortifications of Sebastiano Serlio and Francesco di Giorgio, who published the Trattato di architettura civile e militare (after 1482). There were new developments in fortress construction at the end of the late Gothic. The desire for innovation...

Frente aos preceitos ditados por Vitrúvio em seu De Architectura, arquitetos tratadistas do Quatrocentos e do Quinhentos, absortos em requalificar a arquitetura e a cidade, divisam symmetria e decor como premissas excelsas a corporificar na ars aedificatoria a perfeita ordem e beleza da natureza. A perquirição de suas acepções, não obstante os obstáculos postos à exegese dos tratados, desvela novos juízos sobre os sentidos de ordem então exalçados. Instituídas, desde a fonte antiga, pelas analogias com o homo ad circulum e ad quadratum, os tratados de Antonio Averlino, detto il Filarete, Francesco di Giorgio Martini e Cesare Cesariano consolidam e multiplicam as possibilidades de associações macro e microcósmicas com a ordo divina. Congêneres ao decor, tais symmetriai e razões do homem bene figuratus precisam expedientes inescusáveis de adequação e variedade, inerentes à vera práxis arquitetônica. / Before the precepts stated by Vitruvius in his De Architectura, architects from the 15th and 16th centuries, absorbed in requalifying the architecture and the city, perceive symmetria and decor as excelling premises that embodied the perfect order and beauty of nature in the ars aedificatoria. The search of their significances, despite the obstacles placed by the treatises exegesis, discloses new judgments about the senses of order extoled at that age. Antonio Averlino, detto il Filarete, Francesco di Giorgio Martini and Cesare Cesariano\'s treatises consolidate and multiply the possibilities of macro and microcosmic associations with the divine ordo, already settled in the ancient source through the analogy with the homo ad circulum and ad quadratum. Congeneric to decor, such symmetriai and the reasons of the homo bene figuratus determine required expedients for adequacy and variety inherent in the veracious architectural praxis.

Classé sur la première liste des monuments historiques et premier édifice civil à bénéficier d’une restauration ordonnée et financée par l’État, le château de Blois voit se succéder, dès 1843, deux chantiers de réhabilitation respectivement dirigés par Félix Duban (1797-1870) et Anatole de Baudot (1834-1915). Remarquable synthèse de l’histoire de l’architecture française, le château est aussi le terrain d’expérimentation de diverses conceptions, méthodes et techniques de restauration qui, apparaissant au XIXe siècle, animent le débat national au centre duquel se place Viollet-le-Duc. L’inventaire et l’analyse inédits du fonds lapidaire du château de Blois, collection à laquelle sont associés les études, modèles avant exécution et moulages en plâtre des motifs décoratifs avant restauration, permettent de renouveler les connaissances sur le décor sculpté des ailes Louis XII et François Ier. Grâce à la mise en perspective des plâtres, des pierres déposées, des façades actuelles, des sources manuscrites et iconographiques, cette étude révèle les spécificités de chacune des deux restaurations, leur opposition et leur complémentarité. Elle met en évidence deux perceptions différentes de la Renaissance et la façon dont elles sont traduites dans la pierre par les architectes du XIXe siècle. Le château de Blois est ainsi un chantier-modèle, tant par l’exemplarité des restaurations dont il est l’objet que par l’intégration, assumée, du XIXe siècle à son histoire / Classified on the first list of “Historic Monuments” and the first civil building to have its restoration requested and funded by the French State, the Chateau of Blois was the object of two renovation programmes starting in 1843 and respectively supervised by Félix Duban (1797-1870) and Anatole de Baudot (1834-1915). An outstanding synthesis of the history of French architecture, the chateau was also the experimenting field for various techniques, methods and approaches of restoration appearing in the 19th century and stimulating the national debate, in which Viollet-le-Duc played a major role. These unique inventory and analysis of the lapidary collection of the Chateau of Blois, to which are added the studies, the mock models, and the plaster casts of the decorative patterns before their restoration, allow to renew the knowledge about the carved décor of the Louis XII’s and the Francis I’s wings. This study puts into perspective the plaster casts, the stones taken off the facades, the present facades, the manuscript and iconographic sources, and it hereby brings to light the specificities of each restoration campaign, their differences and their complementarity. It highlights two different perceptions of the Renaissance and the way they were expressed in the stone by the 19th-century architects. Thus, thanks to its exemplary restoration and the way it integrated the 19th century into its own history, the Chateau of Blois acts as a true model for restoration campaigns

Depuis une vingtaine d’années, les historiens de l’art s’intéressent de près à la microarchitecture, c’est-à-dire la miniaturisation d’édifices dans les oeuvres d’art, en particulier dans l’orfèvrerie. Les études sur le sujet se concentrent toutefois essentiellement sur la période médiévale et s’attachent à définir dans quelle mesure ces oeuvres imitent des édifices existants. Elles sont rarement étendues à d’autres périodes. Or, la Renaissance florentine, marquée par une mutation profonde de l’art d’édifier et de concevoir l’architecture, constitue une fenêtre d’observation privilégiée, que nous mettons à profit pour explorer les liens que les édifices miniaturisés en orfèvrerie entretiennent avec leurs homologues monumentaux architecturés. Pour ce faire, nous identifions trois fonctions de la microarchitecture : celle d’objet ou de partie d’un objet (Objectum), celle d’assemblage d’éléments architecturaux (Ædiculum), celle d’image offerte au regard du spectateur (Imago). Dans Objectum, la microarchitecture est envisagée à travers la pièce d’orfèvrerie qu’elle contribue à orner, son contexte de fabrication et sa matérialité. Cet examen est aussi l’occasion de présenter les matériaux et les techniques utilisées en orfèvrerie. Ædiculum est consacré à l’étude des éléments architecturaux qui composent les petits édifices. Ces éléments mettent au jour des correspondances entre l’orfèvrerie et d’autres arts, tels que la sculpture ou la peinture. Dans Imago, nous montrons que les petites dimensions de la microarchitecture, qui la rendent propre à être embrassée du regard, en font une image qui engage un dialogue privilégié avec le spectateur grâce à un ensemble de dispositifs, qui vont de ses qualités esthétiques à sa capacité évocatrice en passant par les significations religieuses et politiques dont elle est chargée. Au total, cette étude montre que la microarchitecture ne se définit pas nécessairement dans son rapport avec la grande architecture mais consiste plutôt en un phénomène artistique indépendant et universel. / For the last twenty years art historians have developed an interest in microarchitecture: the miniaturization of architecture in works of art, especially in goldsmithery. Studies dedicated to the topic mostly focus on medieval period, trying to define which large-scale buildings these works might imitate. However, these studies are rarely extended to other periods of time. Renaissance Florence, characterized by a deep transformation of the art of architecture, is a significant period we chose in order to observe the connections between miniaturized and monumental buildings. This requires the identification of three aspects of microarchitecture: being an object or part of an object (Objectum), combining different architectural motives (Ædiculum) and presenting itself as an image to be seen by a viewer (Imago). With Objectum, we examine the microarchitecture in relation to the work it contributes to ornate as well as within its context of production. This inspection is also a relevant opportunity to present the materials and the techniques used by the goldsmiths. With Ædicula, we study the architectural motives that compose the miniaturized buildings. The motives show the similarities between goldsmithery and other arts like sculpture and painting. With Imago, we consider the dialog that microarchitecture establishes with the viewer thanks to several dispositives such as the æsthetic qualities of the pieces, their ability to evocated something familiar (a building) and, sometimes, their religious and political meanings. In total, this study argues that micorarchitecture does not necessarily define itself within its relationship to large-scale architecture but should rather be understood as an independent, universal artistic phenomenon.
