Burghers‘ self-representation in urban space. The Burghers of Telč and Slavonice at the beginning of the Early Modern period

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper examines burghers’ self-representation via visual media in specific liege town milieu at the dominion of the lords of Hradec in the second half of the 16th century. The towns of Telč and Slavonice were chosen as typical sample of the small towns (up to 2000 inhabitants) which played very important role in the early modern central European urban network. Many artworks connected with burghers‘ patronage (e.g. murals, decorated façades, architectural elements and tombs) hold various coats of arms including burghers’ arms, guild arms and the dominion owner’s coat of arms. The analysis of a few examples of heraldic bearings and artworks from Telč and Slavonice shows that burghers’ self-presentation is often closely linked to the representation of guilds. The presence of aristocratic coats of arms in public space (on façades and in interiors of houses as well) is explained as the expression id identity and loyalty to the owner of the town.
