Nakladatelství ústavu Artefactum bylo založeno roku 1994 s cílem publikovat (česky, případně anglicky nebo německy) nejen výsledky výzkumu Ústavu dějin umění AV ČR, v. v. i., ale zpřístupnit původní práce domácích i zahraničních historiků umění na důležitá (středo)evropská témata. Jako jediné nakladatelství v ČR vydává vybrané disertační práce obhájené na českých univerzitách v oboru dějiny umění.

V nakladatelství vychází dvě ediční řady: Fontes historiae artium jako řada edic písemných pramenů z našich i zahraničních archivů k dějinám českého i světového výtvarného umění; Opera minora historiae artium, zaměřená na studie monografického charakteru věnované jak jednotlivým umělcům, tak i konkrétním uměleckým dílům. K dalším standardním publikacím nakladatelství patří konferenční sborníky a vědecké katalogy a Bulletin Studia Rudolphina.

Na financování vydávaných publikací se dominantní mírou podílí Ediční rada Akademie věd ČR. Nakladatelství Artefactum koordinuje svou publikační činnost s nakladatelstvím Academia.

Zahrady Rudolfa II. Jejich vznik a vývoj [The Gardens of Rudolf II. Their Origins and Evolution]

Sylva Dobalová

The art lover Emperor Rudolf II also devoted considerable attention to his gardens, most of which had been laid out by his predecessors; so far, however, little has been known about them. The history of the gardens of Prague Castle (with the Royal Garden in pride of place), the Hvězda Game Preserve, the Imperial Mill, and the gardens of the castle in Brandýs nad Labem, is presented in the book in such a way as to provide the most concrete impression of what they originally looked like. The story of how their various buildings and features came into being – such as orangeries, ball game halls, menageries, secret passages, geometrical flower-beds and fountains – reveals a great deal about how people viewed gardens and life in them at that time, but also includes the everyday problems of the court architects and gardeners. Help in presenting a graphic overview of 16th-century horticulture is provided by many references to gardens elsewhere in Europe, especially in Italy, the extensive illustrations for the book, and also a summary of Renaissance theoretical views, which differed considerably from those of the Baroque.

Der Herrscher auf dem Sakralbild zur Zeit der Gegenreformation und des Barock

Eine ikonologische Untersuchung zur herrscherlichen Repräsentation Kaiser Ferdinands II. in Böhmen.
[The Monarch in the Sacred Image of the Counter-Reformation and Baroque Era (An Iconological Study to the Sovereign Representation of the Emperor Ferdinand II in Bohemia)]

Štěpán Vácha

Displaying of the sovereign in the post-Tridentine sacred image constitutes a peculiar hitherto unexplored phenomenon of early modern art. The author of presented book puts it into relation with the contemporaneous, extremely intensified sovereign’s activity in the field of church patronage and with his need to be adequately represented in the liturgical space. The main focus – with regard to the Bohemian environment and the issue of Pietas austriaca – is paid to the representation of the emperor Ferdinand II, whose youth spiritual formation, personal piety and religious politics are strongly reflected in its iconography and public image. It is particularly evident in two works – the wall painting in St. Vitus Cathedral (1631) and the main altar painting in the Church of Our Lady of Victory in the Lesser Town (1641) in Prague. Their iconography is thoroughly discussed and the circumstances of their genesis are portrayed against the backdrop of contemporary construction history of both temples. The final interpretation is based on detailed research on important religious festivity of baroque Prague, the thanks giving procession which took place in the 17th and 18th centuries in memory of Ferdinand II’s victory over Bohemian estates in the battle of White Mountain on 8 November 1620. The book also contains unpublished sources that are related not only to the subject, but also bring new knowledge to the general religious history of Bohemia.

Vnitřek lesa, lesní charaktery. Julius Mařák a umění krajinomalby [Inside the forest, forest characters. Julius Mařák and artistic landscapes]

Alexander Matoušek

The study follows the artist's work in connection with several characteristic themes in the contemporary spiritual climate. One is a symbolic assessment of the deep forest of intimacy and dreaming, another new deepening of the relationship to nature, or in short, turning to the soul of the countryside. Mood is another theme and is just as appealingly attractive for theoretical assessments as it is to artistic experience. Two chapters are dedicated to composition and the semantics of illustrated space. The next to last chapter analyzes the concept of masterpiece and the last final chapter the path to achieving one.
The characteristic tendences and traits of Mařák’s artistic work and his pedagogic endeavors are outlined.
