| Popis | The article in the introductory section maps the connection of the production of the leading Czech artists in the services of archaeology from the middle of the 19th century and their role with the national emancipation before World War I. The main part of the text comes from a source study of the archive of Karel Absolon, who was one of the central personalities in the fields of archaeology and speleology in Czechoslovakia in the interwar period. Absolon’s scientific activities aroused interest with a number of Czech painters, men of letters, photographers, filmmakers and philosophers, who reflected on the results of archaeological research both in cooperation with Karel Absolon and in their own artistic production. |
