Josef Aleš-Lyžec (1862-1927): Životopisná freska / Josef Aleš-Lyžec (1862-1927): Biographical fresco

The subject of this thesis is the persona of Josef Aleš-Lyžec - Czech pedagogue, draftsman, translator, tourist, and pioneer and propagator of skiing in the Czech lands. The thesis is created using historical method based on the study of source material of the Aleš hereditament in Literary Archive in Memorial of National Literature in Prague. In the first part we are introduced to a brief biography of Josef Aleš-Lyžec, which summarizes the most important moments of his life. The second part of the thesis aims at describing the key facets of his life, based on surviving writings, especially his endeavors in pedagogy, art and skiing. The analysis of his correspondence is also strongly accentuated, as it sheds light on his relationships with his more famous relative Mikoláš Aleš, his illegitimate son Josef Váchal and his mother Anna Váchalová (Hlaváčková). The intended purpose of the whole thesis is to depict this half-forgotten persona to a present reader, who until now had no Aleš biography available to him. KEYWORDS Josef Aleš-Lyžec, Mikoláš Aleš, Josef Váchal, Anna Váchalová, biography, family correspondence, skiing in the Czech lands, teacher at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
