Illuminating the past. Czech printed images during the reformation (c. 1450-1550) and the ‘e-ilustrace’ Database
Original language description
One hundred years before Martin Luther's arrival, the Reformation had already established itself in Bohemia, resulting in a significant aversion towards sacred images. Nevertheless, bibliographical records suggest that around 6,000 printed images had been disseminated through books in Bohemia up to 1550. The upcoming lecture will explore the fascinating journey of visual narratives in the earliest printed books produced in the Czech lands. Our discussion will shed light on how the medium of illustration was employed within these texts, and how it evolved alongside the burgeoning Reformation movement. We will explore the foreign influences and patterns that shaped the images in Czech printed books, as well as some of the most richly illustrated works. Finally, we will present „e-ilustraceʺ, a new online database of Czech printed images.
