Martin Pavlíček

Assumpta v hořícím keři

The author focuses on the origin and analysis of the iconographic character of Assumption in the Burning Bush, which appears on several Czech late-Gothic panel paintings (the Assumption of Bílá hora, the Lanna Assumption, the Assumption of Deštná, the Dubany Alter, the Assumption of Sepekov and the Assumption of Saint Vitus). This motif probably comes from Archbishop Jan of Jenštejn's circle, which played a significant role in the creation of the Marian cult in the Czech Lands.
