"ANCESTRAL GALLERY" of Castle Bílovec at DE MONTFORT GALLERY
We have jointly opened the Vernissage of the exhibition "ANCESTRAL GALLERY OF BÍLOVEC CASTLE" in honor of the castellan Eduard Valeš, who, together with Rosana De Montfort, returned the paintings of the owners of this residence to the castle interiors.
These are approximately 30 replicas of the original Baroque and Renaissance paintings, the production of which has been ongoing since 2018. Eduard Valeš was a prominent historian and chronicler of the Bílovec region, who spent years conducting diplomatic dialogue with noble families in Europe and overseas to obtain approval for the project to be implemented. Although he was a native of Nový Jičín, he was awarded several times by the city of Bílovec for his services.
Rosana De Montfort is a native of Ostrava who spent 30 years abroad, where she studied the old masters, among other things. She comes to the Nový Jičín region with her husband Russell de Montfort and expands her work in the visual arts to include curatorial and gallery work. Together they found De Montfort Gallery, here in NJ.
The exhibition was also introduced by the prominent historian and castellan of Kunín Castle, Dr. Jaroslav Zezulčík, who masterfully presented the history of replicas of ancestral picture galleries. He explained how ancestral galleries are copied through marriage so that each family member has a memory of their ancestors in their home and can thus demonstrate the heritage of their family branch. We are grateful for such patronage and appreciate it very much.
It was a demanding but very pleasant evening after the hasty reconstruction of the space, which we wanted to dedicate to the memory of the castellan, historian and friend, Eduard Valeš.
The evening was covered by regional TV station Polar TV. Video below.

The inventory is checked and a picture has been shot by the star photographer Tomáš Raška, who has captured my contemplation of the exposition plan for the year 2026.
So what will be on schedule?
Gallery MORITZ will host two group exhibitions of selected artists from across the country. We are expecting around 10 artists per project. In addition to the art display there will be courses and workshops happening at the Chateau Bílovec premises. We will also host musical happenings and social gatherings.

GALLERY MORITZ IS GETTING A MAKEOVER!
You all know by now I am a builder too. So it becomes very natural for me to transform any interior space. Because of the new project "ENCOUNTER IN TIME" in the Gallery Moritz,
where we welcome some very important colleagues, I have decided to give the gallery a makeover. With a help of several people we have transformed this place from 18th century hall into 21st century exposition space.
Project "ANCESTRAL GALLERY" at Chateau Bilovec is attracting the media.
Bilovec chateau is so the only castle in Europe, where a family portraits of the noble relatives is reproduced in such a scale. The magayine Top Moments has interviewed Rosana about this project, the idea and purpose of the deed. Exposed paintings will remain in the collection of the castle for ever.

CHATEAU GALLERY project
This project arose not only from the need for a larger art venue for the exposition "ROMY&ROSE", but also from the common interest with the curatorium of the Bílovec Chateau and the town hall.
