Neobaroque as the instrument of the aristocratic representation in South Bohemia
SKOŘEPOVÁ, Eva
The diploma thesis entitled The Neo-Baroque as a Tool of Aristocratic Representation in South Bohemia is based on a bachelor's thesis written by the same author, Eva Skořepová. The subject of the bachelor's thesis was the construction history of the Castle in Chlum u Třeboně, focusing on its Neo-Baroque reconstruction and contextualizing the Neo-Baroque style within historicist styles. The author has followed up her research in the present thesis which highlights three Neo-Baroque South Bohemian buildings whose construction was initiated by members of nobility. The buildings include the Castle in Chlum u Třeboně whose Neo-Baroque reconstruction was commissioned by Archduke Franz Ferdinand d´Este, Hardtmuth Family Residence in České Budějovice, built by Franz and Anna von Hardtmuth, and Berchtold Family Tomb in Neznašov, close to Týn nad Vltavou, commissioned by Juliana Schnöblingová, née Berchtoldová. The author conducted detailed research of the nobility who commissioned the buildings, the history of the locations and construction history of the buildings, pointing out connections which might have influenced the choice of the Neo-Baroque style. At the times of stylistic fragmentation, the Neo-Baroque style had both aesthetic qualities and political and ideological hidden meanings. The author examines the meanings and considers the advent of historicist styles in relation to the architectural development in the 19th century. The author also reflects the contemporary view of the Baroque that influenced the acceptance of Neo-Baroque forms within historicist styles. Another essential factor considered in the thesis is the concept of Austrian national style based on the Neo-Baroque, as it was coined and advocated by Albert Ilg. The final part of the thesis seeks to find answers to the key question: "Why the Neo-Baroque?".

Chlum u Třeboně Castle between baroque and neobaroque
SKOŘEPOVÁ, Eva
Chlum u Třeboně Chateau - The Building Development And The Context Of The Chateau bachelor thesis summarizes the basic information related not only to the main building, but also the adjacent park, with a main focus on the last reconstruction between years 1901-1903. Eva Skořepová drew her attention to those, who had stood behind the resulting Neo-Baroque appearance of the castle - František Ferdinand d'Este, the Builder and Heinrich Johann Leopold Gerl, the Architect. The chateau itself is then placed in the context of historicizing architecture and the Neo-Baroque context, which carries cultural and political subtext within.
