Abstract(s)
In the period around the middle of the 19th century, a wave of sculptures in a neo-Baroque style appeared in Moravia which can be considered as one of the stylistic fashions of formal expressions of sculpture at that time. Using the principle of historicism, they "brought up to date" the Baroque era, as the embodiment of the "Christian historical tradition" of Moravia. A good illustration of this phenomenon is provided by the cooperation between the sculptors from Brno, Benedikt Edele (1797–1867) and his pupil Josef Břenek (1820–1878), and the Dean in Lomnice, Amand Kudrna (†1858), and the Benedictine Abbot of the monastery in Rajhrad, Viktor Schlossar (1793–1854).
