Abstract: Royal representation finds its peak in the act of coronation as in the main and the most important part of the king’s or emperor’s reign. In the 17th century we can find a lot of these sovereign, who lost or (and) retrieve their kingdoms or empires and they needed to assure their position in the reclaimed or uncertain land. To be able to do that, they mostly used their „royal representation“ as the main instrument to declare their right to rule. This need for representation of the king’s right to rule, shown through the spectacle of the visualization of the act of coronation, is possible to find for example in Stuarts’ England as well as in the Habsburg monarchy with their fight for ruling in Bohemian kingdom in the beginning of the 17th century.

The lecture will aim at this problematic of the royal representation through the artistic visualization with the question of the relevance of the act of coronation itself over its representation in artistic mediums. The thesis is developed mainly on the example of engravings for the official festival book devoted to the processions and coronation of the King Charles II of England from 1662. This approach is framed for the most part by a theory of the royal representation by Louis Marin, theory of the king’s body and its role and transformations in the sovereignty by Ernst Kantorowicz and by the theory of the visual representation and inter-mediality by W. J. T. Mitchell.
