2019
Abstract
The subject of this study is the analysis of several selected examples of pictures of Hussite battles which are part of the illuminated manuscripts from the 15th and 16th centuries. The desire to preserve the memory of the victorious battle through artwork has been accompanied by fine art from the outset, and it is properly in this context that it is possible to observe the visual portrayal of the Hussite battles.
