This article is dedicated to re-examine the problematic of art geography in the era of globalization concentrated on the focus of the new 'postmodern' geographies and the 'spatial turn'.

Polish painting of the 19th century was formed in Central European context; however, it had its own specialties. On one hand, there were mutual tendencies in development of landscape- and portrait-painting, on the other, because of complicated political conditions, the ideologically spotted historical painting made it possible to touch in its own way problems of nationality.

What initially appeared to be a somewhat marginal issue, of interest mainly to the local researchers aiming to complete the archives of the transnational bohemianism, did, in fact, attract contributors from very...
The attempts to revive and emulate the early-Christian art undertaken after the Council of Trent, was primarily a kind of monument conservation programme. Such efforts had illustrated the return of the church to its sacred apostolic tradition, with a limited scope to places where the monuments dating back to the first centuries in the history of the Church had been preserved, that is chiefly to Rome...
The overarching theme of the issue is the early modern culture and art of religious orders in Central Europe, corresponding with the editor’s professional interest as well as unfinished research of the past few years into sacred art of the early modern age, with an emphasis on monastic culture. The editor has developed the Central European dialogue pertaining to this many-layered and, in the past...
The reconstruction of St Maurice in Olomouc was one of the most important building projects in late medieval Moravia. The research assumes that the work began in 1415 and continued, with several interruptions, into the late of the 15th century. This paper wants to critically examine the dating of the choir as an eastern part of the parish church between 1453 and 1483/1492. It approaches the building...
