- ItemJosef Führich, andělé v Altlerchenfeldu a první výstava Führichovy sbírky v LiberciMachalíková, PavlaThe collections of the Liberec Regional Gallery include eight cartons by Josef Führich (1800–1876), which depict the personifications of the Elements and one medallion with a cherub. The drawings were created as templates for the decoration of the new Catholic church in the Altlerchenfeld district of Vienna, entrusted to Führich in 1854–1860. The text analyzes their iconography, which is based on older tradition, but is also closely relate d to Führich‘s late work, based on the author‘s conservative religious attitudes and the official religious-political ideology of the Austrian monarchy. The second part of the study examines the circumstances of the cartons arrival to Liberec. Führich donated them to the collections of the emerging Museum of Appli ed Arts on the occasion of his own exhibition in 1875. Führich´s pupil Rudolf Müller pushed through the construction of a collection of works by Josef Führich in the museum. The new instit ution thus used the supraregional significance of the work of the famous native and local artistic tradition in the current cultural and political context.
