AB  - The reception of Antique-style forms, which were the ground of early Renaissance architectural sculpture (ca. 1490-1550), appeared in Moravia within Central Europe soon in 1490s. It was influenced by the political connection of Moravia and Hungary where the local king Matthias Corvinus supported Renaissance art through his various orders. The first appearance of early Renaissance art was a decoration of Tovačov Castle around the year 1492 that was created for the Moravian Hetman of that time, Ctibor Tovačovský of Cimburk. At the same time, Renaissance architectural sculptures also appeared in the castle in Moravská Třebová, where they were ordered by Ladislav Černohorský of Boskovice, who supported humanists.The analysis of selected architectural sculptures shows that a style of Moravian early Renaissance art was not accidental as well as a frequent connection of the Gothic and Renaissance style into a so-called mixed style, which was typical for art in Central Europe in this period. The author of the paper tries to demonstrate a personality of a patron, respectively political, humanistic or other aspects, which influenced forms of early Renaissance architectural sculptures in Moravia on chosen examples from regions of Olomouc and Moravské Podyjí.
