| Description | The paper will deal with the distinctive role of the architect in the context of other figures who participated in the creation of sacral architecture of the three Christian denominations of the late 18th century and the first half of the 19th century in Moravia and Austian Silesia. The goal to five an idea of the status and possibilities of artist in a specific socio-cultural framework, which significantly defined the resulting work of art. Creating a modern clerical apparatus, weakening the influence of local aristocracy, emphasis on the sovereign control of the monarch, the establischment of a new relationship between the state and the church and the policies of religious tolerance were aimed at unity and utilitarism of form not only within one building but in the whole architectural production in the monarchy. Churches and chapels, as well as their furnishings and resulting appearance, were primarily determined by clergy, representatives of parisches and congregations, local nobility or funds and associations, all coming to terms with the local artistic tradition and the specific religious situation. In this context of Josephine classicism, the artist had to deal with various figures and with official state requirements or restrictions. In this sense, the building culture in Moravia and Austrian Silesia at the turn of the 19th century challenges the autonomy of the artist´s personality and his personal style, finding his character and experience rather in local connections and perios conditionality. |
