Jan Trňák, František Ekart, Jaroslav Lužný, Josef Topenčík and their legacy within Eastern Moravian stone sculpture production between 1850 and 1940
The article is focused on four stone-carving workshops operating in East Moravia between 1850 and 1940, with the stone-carving masters Jan Trňák from Uherský Brod, František Ekart from Štípa, Jaroslav Lužný from Uherský Brod and Josef Topenčík from Uherské Hradiště and their preserved and recognized elements of small sacral architecture complementing the set of already described sctone-carving workshops of the given period and area. The author presents basic biographical data for each of the monitored masters, places them at least partially in the socio-cultural context and focuses on the preserved elements of the production of their workshops.
