Za tu sumu jeden kámen hrobník mramorove…: the commissions of the stonemason Vincent Strašryba of Breslau in the second half of 16th century The article presents the stonemason Vincent Strašryba of Breslau (Wrocław), who in the second half of the 16th century settled in Bohemia, getting significant commissions. He specialized in epitaphs for the nobility. When he died of the plague in 1582 his relatives started a long legal tussle over the inheritance which involved estimating the value of his workshop and his commissions. Among the claimants were also his relations from Breslau, who tried to execute some of his unfinished commissions and probably used his contacts in Bohemia. Among Strašryba’s best works of is the epitaph of Jan Starší of Lobkovice, surviving until today in St Vitus Cathedral in Prague. It is an evidence of the influence of Silesian and Saxon art on Bohemian renaissance sculpture.
