Vladimír's bookstore Serius and the civic association PLAC warmly invite you to the 36th lecture from the series "printed architecture". This time on Friday, January 20, 2017, at 6:30 PM in Jablonec nad Nisou, we will welcome the architectural historian Richard Biegel, who will present the book Baroque Architecture in Bohemia.

A collective of art historians from Charles University and the Czech Academy of Sciences provides a comprehensive view of the story of Baroque construction in Bohemia and summarizes the results of previous research into a generously conceived monograph. The authors focus not only on the works of top architects such as Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel or Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer, but also on the work of lesser-known regional creators who have not yet received due attention. The interpretation is set within the broader cultural and social contexts of the 17th and 18th centuries. The publication is equipped with rich visual material, which includes reproductions of period plans, floor plans of individual buildings, and above all, outstanding photographs by Vladimír Uher and Martin Micka.

PhDr. Richard Biegel, Ph.D. (*1975) studied the history of art at the Faculty of Arts at Charles University in Prague and completed study stays in Paris, Vienna, and Rome. Since 1996, he has been an active member of the Club for Old Prague. From 1999 to 2006, he worked as a specialist in the documentation department of the regional specialist workplace of Central Bohemia at the National Heritage Institute.
