The resource of this work is the play The Miller’s Monkey, which was compiled by the author of this work for the Prague Estates Theater. The play is based on all completed comedies of Václav Kliment Klicpera written in Czech. Klicpera’s comedy work consequently appeared to be an ideal material to which the generally defined topic of the author’s doctoral study can be taken in: “Between `grand drama’ theatres and small `cabaret’ stages”, thus basically as well as between drama and mime, between theater and cabaret. There is, in crystalline form, the insight of dramaturgic thinking to the author’s approach, which is the essence of such “research by creation” and which we could call “from the scene to the drama”. 16 chapters were created, based on the particular scenes of The Miller’s Monkey, marked in summary “Klicpera’s reservoir of situations, characters and motives”, dealing with specific questions of Klicpera’s comedy world – such as language, acting, the way of managing the plot and many more –, but also comedies by themselves. The resulting play is not only an annex of this dissertation work, but an integral part of it. How its subtitle sounds: playful dissertation

The aim of my work is the church of St. Nicholas in Benesov in terms of one of the monuments, which is the cycle of St. Clement Baroque painter Ignaz Raab. At the beginning shortly focus on the period of the formation and history of the church. Church on this site can be dated back to the 11th century already. It is very interesting to observe how the church was created in connection with the founding of the city. In the next part, I will study the cult of St. Clement and his association with the Czech environment. In the next chapter I will deal with the author cycle Ignaz Raab. I will be interested in what the creative period of a cycle of St. Clement, which Czech and foreign influences acting upon it, and how this inspiration reflected in his work. The last part will include individual images of the cycle, which will discuss the iconography and by comparison.
