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?".

Buquoy aristocratic family, history and cultural legacy in Bohemia
Landová, Adéla ; Jančík, Jiří (advisor) ; Listíková, Renáta (referee)
1 Abstract The Buquoy aristocratic family is a branch of the Longueval family that has origins in current France. The Buquoys arrived in Lands of the Bohemian Crown during the thirty years' war when Charles Bonaventure was called in to fight Bohemian Protestants. Soon after, he received an estate in the Southern Bohemia from Ferdinand II where he and his descendants stayed nearly three and a half centuries. The Buquoys soon extended their opulent estates by Prague palaces and few regions in the North Bohemia. They contributed to advances in agriculture, glassblowing and in the area of social and scholar reforms. They were also engaged in politics and became important patrons of culture and arts. Nevertheless, the Buquoys suffered the same fate as other aristocratic families. In the beginning of the 19th century, they started losing their privileges and estates and, in 1945, they were expelled from Czechoslovakia based on Beneš decrees concerning retribution. The aim of this thesis is to point out the cultural legacy which Buquoys left behind in the current Czech Republic and to describe their overall contribution in particular areas. The thesis is divided into two chapters. The first chapter is dedicated to the general picture and to the history of aristocratic families in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown...
