Beyond Airbrushed from Art History: The Laudato Corde Art Gallery

The Laudato Corde Art Gallery presents the excellent works of the Croatian sacral art of the 20th and 21st century. Their holdings comprise the works of Ivo Dulcic, Djuro Seder, Zlatko Sulentic, Josip Biffel, Vasilije Jordan, Vladimir Blazanovic, Josip Botteri, Kuzma Kovacic, Vladimir Meglic, Tomislav Buntak, as well as others renowned artists.

Ivo Dulcic was one of the few (and first post-war) painters in Croatian painting who constantly nurtured religious themes (paintings with religious themes) ... His first noticed work on the subject was a fresco of Christ the King in the Church of Our Lady of Health in Split (1959). His work on church stained glass is particularly significant because he brought almost revolutionary novelties in this area, sometimes provoking protests from representatives of the Church. His numerous works in this technique are in the churches in: Zagreb (St. Francis and Our Lady of Lourdes), then in Dubrovnik (Dominican monastery), Sarajevo, Kresevo (St. Catherine at the Franciscan monastery), Bugojno and Essen (Croatian Catholic Church mission, 1966).
