Abstract

The session focuses on workshops and artistic networks in Prague in the 14th century. It tracks artistic development in panel-, wall- and manuscript painting, their entanglements, and iconographic as well as formal exchanges. The session thus investigates the most prominent works of art that originated in commission of the Bohemian royal court. The papers here examine diverse forms of cooperation, use of model books and drawings, and production of devotional copies of the original artworks. Doing so, the papers provide an insight into a workshop organisation and its potential development during the long 14th century.
