Course objectives

Lecture series focuses on monitoring the relationship between transformations of European society and culture from the 15th century to the French Revolution (1789). The basis of modern European culture (i.e., classical, Christian, Jewish tradition) is in this broad frame transformed into new value spectrum and in particular manifestations of artistic culture and lifestyle changes, modernization trends in culture and the arts in particular are monitored in their relation to contemporary political, economic and social development: a work of art works like painting company, respectively as an expression of their aspirations, interests and needs, as well as a mirror, which reflects a variety of crisis that Europe has undergone (religious conflicts, wars, economic disaster, plague, etc.). The society's commitment to the arts and culture depends on the political framework of the feudal society, its erosion and changes in the second half of the 18th century and period artistic culture - transformed in their claims - acting as an integral part of social transformation: a radical change of political power is complementary to the inner spiritual revolution in the minds of intellectuals and artists. The topic of the course is based mainly on the example of the artistic and social development in the Czech lands in the Early Modern period.
