| Description | The three texts are a contribution to the discussion on denominationality in the 16th and 17th centuries. Using the example of Renaissance epitaphs the authors consider the extent to which denominational meanings may be observed in early modern works of art and the limits of such observations. The introductory text presents a more general (historiographical) view of the prerequisites for the construction of a denominational identity in the Bohemian lands and of Renaissance epitaphs as a specific medium. Both authors admit that the epitaphs contain many denominational connotations, but at the same time both are aware of numerous weaknesses in a denominationally focused interpretation of the works in question, particularly in relation to their special function as commemorative devices. |
