Annotation
This series of lectures will provide students with orientation in the historical transformations of art history, from the beginnings of art history to the present. The course will focus on key methodological approaches, their genesis, evolution and their major contribution to the cultural and historical kontext.. At the same time the modifications of application of the methods will be studied, as well as the historical contribution of individual representatives of the method. Special emphasis will be placed on linking the Czech art history with the development of the field abroad.
We will also monitor the place of art history in the hierarchy of historical sciences and their role in exploring the cultural riches of our civilization.
