| Learning outcomes |
|
The aim of the course is to introduce the topic of residences of the aristocracy living in Bohemia and Moravia from the beginning of 16th to the middle of 18th century. It should by no means be understood as an exclusively art-historical course. Social history and social art-history considers such a space as a residence, i.e. as a place for the everyday and festal life of the aristocracy, whose noble birth, wealth and success differ in quality, as a place that hosts the whole aristocratic family as well as a court of different quantity.
Students will learn to understand the mentality and "competitive" way of thinking of early modern nobility. They will learn to know renaissance and baroque castles and palaces in the Czech lands and Vienna. |
