Sveto i profano

The exhibition presents the Italian artists creating in the period between the Council of Trent and the Napoleonic era, i.e. from the late 16th century until 1800. The Napoleonic wars altered the political map of Europe, especially in Italy and Croatia. At the time, the entire region along the Dalmatian coast, with the exception of the Republic of Ragusa (or Dubrovnik), belonged to the Republic of Venice. The entire territory, from Istria to Boka Kotorska, had been predominantly under the influence of the Venetian school of art whereas artists from the central and southern parts of Italy, foremost from Naples, left a visible mark in Dubrovnik.00Exhibition: Klovicevi Dvori Gallery, Zagreb, Croatia (16.04. - 02.08.2015).
