Ottavio Piccolomini and Castle of Náchod
SOUČEK, Martin
This Bachelor´s thesis utilises modern theoretical methods asserted in the research of the material culture of aristocratic residences and representational strategies of noblemen in the early modern age. The thesis is heuristically based on the collection of still dormant sources deposited in the State Regional Archives in Zámrsk, Family Archive of the Piccolomini´s, Náchod, 1431-1881. This study builds on the analysis of the preserved castle inventory from 1732. The author also does not leave fresco decoration and pieces of furniture aside from the attention. He is interested not only in tangible equipment of the Náchod residency of Ottavio Piccolomini (1599-1656) but he also pays attention to the symbolical decoration of some rooms, especially the Spanish Hall and the chapel. He also deals with equipment, in which was reflected value scale and the "thought world" of an early modern age nobleman.
