RESTORATION OF PAINTINGS FROM THE CASTLE COLLECTIONS OF THE DISTRICHŠTEJNS IN MIKULOV

THE BLÍŽKSOBĚ FOUNDATION CONTRIBUTED FINANCIALLY TO THE REGIONAL MUSEUM IN MIKULOV FOR THE RESTORATION OF A SET OF FOUR PAINTINGS WITH A HUNTING THEME FROM THE CASTLE COLLECTIONS OF THE DITRICHŠTEJNS.

IT IS AN EXAMPLE OF SPLENDID BAROQUE PAINTING. THANKS TO PRECISE ANALYSIS WITHIN THE INITIAL RESTORATION RESEACH IT WAS POSSIBLE TO REVEAL THE AUTHORSHIP OF MOST OF THE PAINTINGS. THE PAINTINGS BEAR THE MANUSCRIPT OF ONE PAINTER (IN 3 CASES CONFIRMED BY A SIGNATURE), JOSEF FRANTISEK ADOLF )1671-1749). THE ARTWORKS WILL BE PLACED IN THE HUNTING HALL AT MIKULOV CASTLE.
