The Hvězda Summer Palace in Prague, the Villa Trivulzio in Rome, and Giovanni Maria Stella

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article deals with the authorship of the stucco decoration of the Hvězda summer palace in Prague (1556-1560), one of the best preserved and most coherent decorative cycles of the 16th century in Central Europe. Using comparisons, archival data and deductions, he draws attention to the little-known figure of Giovanni Maria Stella, brother of the more famous Paolo Stella, who from 1538 built the summer palace in the Royal Garden at Prague Castle, an emblematic building of the Prague Renaissance. Giovanni Maria came from Melide on the shores of Lake Lugano and, before coming to Prague, had a great career in Italy that took him to Genoa, Rome and Naples. His artistic career culminated in his service to Cardinal Agostino Trivulzio, for whom he restored a collection of antiquities and directed the stucco decoration of the Villa Salone near Rome under Baldassarre Peruzzi. The article focuses on the stucco decorations of the Villa Trivulzio del Salone in Rome, which seem to be the closest predecessor in style and ornamental repertoire to the stuccoes in the Star, making Giovanni Maria the most likely candidate for the main author of the Prague cycle. This attribution relegates the figure of Antonio Brocca, often considered the author of the decoration, to the background and opens up new avenues for further research. Firstly, the close similarity of the stuccoes in the Star to those of the Residenzschloss in Dresden executed a few years earlier suggests that Giovanni Maria may also have directed this workshop and can be identified with the figure of &apos;Johann Maria&apos; mentioned in the documents. Secondly, Stella&apos;s direct knowledge of Baldassarre Peruzzi in Rome, and probably of his collaborators Sebastiano Serlio and Pietro Cataneo, among others, the great designers of defensive buildings with polygonal plans, makes it possible to hypothesize that Giovanni Maria Stella, if not directly the architect of the building, may at least have participated in its conceptual design. Last but not least, Stella&apos;s brilliant artistic career in Italy, his contacts with artists of the importance of Perino del Vaga, Peruzzi and Vasari, as well as his connection to the Prague environment through his brother Paolo, can serve to better understand the context of the creation of the Summer Palace of the Star and its exceptional and great artistic importance in the 16th century Habsburg monarchy.
