The present thesis focuses on the relation between religion and sexuality on chosen works of the catholic author Jaroslav Durych (1886-1962). It deals with his essayistic work, which contains the author's concept of art, as well as with his poetry and prose, in which he examines erotic motives and the image of a woman-virgin. The aim of this thesis is to show, how Durych, as a substantive catholic, deals with the topic of sexuality, in which contexts he puts the sensual beauty of a girl and what meaning creates Eros in his writing. Inter alia, the thesis also deals with specific aspects and motives of Durych's erotica and pays a big attention to the analysis of the girl heroines whose mutual similarity and interchangeability, their fixed way of imaging and the idealized image create a standardized woman heroine of Durych's works - called in the thesis "the nude girl", who is the intersection of Eros, the religious ethics and the motive of poverty.
