náročná ideová koncepce oslavy rodu
Czech to English
Art/Literary
Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Hlavním účelem sálu a jeho prvotřídní umělecké výzdoby bylo poukázat na starobylost a zásluhy původně bavorského rodu Althanů, působících v roli vojevůdců, diplomatů a úředníků ve službách římských císařů. Sochy deseti nejvýznamnějších předků v nadživotní velikosti z dílny rakouského sochaře Tobiase Krackera lemují obvod sálu, *náročná ideová koncepce oslavy rodu* pak vrcholí velkolepou freskou v celé ploše klenby od dalšího vynikajícího barokního umělce Johanna Michaela Rottmayera.

ambitious
Yes, theoretically it’s ambiguous, and if you want to keep that ambiguity, I reckon something like “ambitious” is a good candidate.

Oh, Šárka made me realise you‘re looking for a translation of the entire phrase. Sorry. Your options for “ideová koncepce” might be a bit limited. Šárka’s suggestion of “conceptual design”, or perhaps just “concept”. Then the tricky bit at the end. “Celebration of lineage” is what springs to mind immediately. Again, Šárka’s “house” is a great idea. “Celebration of the House of Althan(n)”?

| Thank you, this is useful. I've used "House" quite a lot. Wouldn't rule out using it again. |

a challenging conception of the family name celebration
What can I say: I admire these spokespeople who have nothing to say, but want to make what they say look insightful and noble

the complex/grand/bold conception of the commemoration of the House
I would understand "náročná" here as complex. I think that "grand" and "bold" could be also good ways to go. I would also prefer to use "commemoration" rather than "celebration".
