Chateau Vimperk. Construction modifications and decoration under Joachim Novohradský of Kolowrat
NOVÁ, Alena
Latest discoveries at the Vimperk Chateau bring the matter of constructional history up to date. This bachelor thesis focuses on the matter of constructional history and the decoration of the chateau, which is held by the aristocratic family of the Novohradský House of Kolowraty, at the beginning of the 17th century. The emphasis is primarily placed on Joachim Novohradský of Kolowraty who most likely ordered a large number of late Renaissance construction modifications for the Vimperk Chateau. The attention is also paid to ceiling and wall decorations of high quality in the premises of both the Upper and Lower Chateau. A significant part of this bachelor thesis includes the interpretation of fresco decorations in the Renaissance hall which is situated in the premises of the Lower Chateau. However, it should be noted that this section is conceived only hypothetically, since the surveyed area is currently uncovered insufficiently for iconographic analysis of its decorations to be conducted. It will not be possible to acquire valid conclusions until restoration works are completed.
