- Abstract
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, religion in Bohemia was unified and the Catholic faith recognised as the only valid denomination. However, the propagation of the faith had been entrusted to religious institutions with miscellaneous traditions, spirituality and cultural, social and political strategies. Monumental art such as ceiling painting was often based on conformity to religious programmes, but could also manifest the particular ideological and political interests of patrons, as the article tries to show with selected examples from the Prague milieu.
