The pope of Polish avant-garde is a main character of a certain persistently recollected critical topos. It claims that, after spending World War I in Europe, Tadeusz Peiper took a basic shape of his ...poetical idea from avant-garde artists he then met. Critics who share this opinion believe that Peiper, aware of these “borrowings”, was developing a carefully planned strategy in order to conceal those external sources and to pretend originality. The author of the article disavows these harmful assumptions, reconstructing their possible genesis (rooted in and continued prewar suspicions of plagiarism) and analyzing some of their critical versions. In the same time she presents wider and not only avant-garde background of Peiper’s idea (baroque, gongorism).
How did the classical tradition survive on the North Sea shores? This book explores the writings of Franciscus Junius that paired scholarship to painter's practice in the seventeenth century. They ...illuminate the reception of antiquity and the creation of an Anglo-Dutch artistic Arcadia.
The article deals with the main points of the anthropological theory presented in the work of a baroque encyclopedist Wojciech Tylkowski which is entitled Uczone rozmowy Learned Conversations (1692). ...This theory combined the elements of theology, philosophy, science and common knowledge. It was presented as scientia curiosa, i.e. a convention which was used during the baroque era to popularize science. The most important aspects of the theory are: the concept of the human soul, four temperaments, the structure and operation of sense organs, the reasons for monstrous births, origins and manifestations of insanity, care of a guardian angel for a man, speculations about the idea of plurality of worlds and the possibility of people living on the Moon.
Kapelu Majke Božje Lauretanske u Pogančecu, podignutu 1780., istraživala je Anđela Horvat kao primjer baroknog klasicizma. Specifičnim tlocrtno-prostornim rješenjem broda s kupolom na ...slobodnostojećim stupovima te stupcima u svetištu izdvaja se iz korpusa sakralne arhitekture kontinentalne Hrvatske tog razdoblja i predstavlja sintezu različitih utjecaja. U kupoli se materijalizira marijanska kružnica, stupovi u brodu odjek su baroknog klasicizma, dok su na pročelju, kao i u opremi, prisutni elementi rokokoa.
U radu se osvrćemo na palaču obitelji Ivanišević u Makarskoj, uz pojedine korekcije i nadopune, te detaljniju arhitektonsku analizu. Također, prvi se put iznose podaci o drugoj gradskoj palači ove ...obitelji u Makarskoj i uništenom obiteljskom ljetnikovcu u Podgori. Majstoru Tomasu Miraglii iz Apulije pripisuje se izrada bunarske krune s grbom biskupa Stjepana Blaškovića, danas smještena u vrtu franjevačkog samostana u Makarskoj.

Church of St. Florijan is located on a narrow raised plateau, at the northern edge of the Old Town of Varaždin, along the old Roman road from Ptuj to Osijek. The approach of the church is emphasized ...by two pillars with angel sculptures. The main facade captures the city space by convex line. The harmonious, singlenave church with a slightly narrower polygonal sanctuary contains a valuable, completely preserved inventory from the Baroque era. The facade and the interior are emphasized by stone carvings, sculptural, stucco, painting and joinery details, carefully executed and of high quality, that testify of the high level of artistic craftsmanship in Varaždin in the 18th century. The program for the protection and preservation of this cultural monument, organized and managed by the Croatian Conservation Institute, included the archival, conservation-restoration and archaeological research, the project and the presentation proposal, the subsequent conservation of the construction and of the inventory as well as the conservation-restoration works on the facades and in the interior; on wall paintings, stucco, stone, metal and wooden inventory. The facade was researched in 1992 and restored in 1995, while the interior was researched in 1997, and the extensive conservation works took place between 2001 and 2017. Two major architectural phases were established on the facades: the first, from the mid 18th century, when the chapel was externally plastered and the second phase, which has been restored, from the time when the belfry was built after the fire in 1776. In the well-preserved interior, two complete phases of decoration were established, the first one from 1738 to 1745 and the second from 1870.
Matija Šeravić (Mathias Xeravich, †1771.), budimski slikar hrvatskoga podrijetla, u mađarskoj literaturi poznat kao Mátyás Schervitz bio je vodeći majstor mađarske prijestolnice. Do 2015. godine ...Šeraviću su zahvaljujući potvrdi u arhivskim dokumentima bili pripisani zidni oslik u kaštelu obitelji Ráday u Pécelu (1763.) i samo jedna slika, nekadašnja glavna oltarna pala (1760.) u nekoć kapucinskoj, danas župnoj crkvi sv. Elizabete u Budimu (uništena). Zahvaljujući novim terenskim i arhivskim istraživanjima u nekadašnjim crkvama i samostanima franjevačke provincije sv. Ivana Kapistrana, autorica razotkriva slikarove osobne podatke i proširuje njegov opus novim djelima izvedenim u fresko i uljanoj tehnici, pomoću kojih možemo spoznati iznimnu slikarsku vrsnoću toga zaboravljenog majstora. Rezultati istraživanja o umjetničkoj djelatnosti Matije Šeravića usredotočeni samo na njegove oltarne pale objavljeni su na mađarskom jeziku 2015. godine.
The text is devoted to the interpretation of Luis Buñuel’s "Un Chien Andalou" in light of Heinrich Wölfflin’s ideas on the alternation of classical and baroque styles in the development of the fine ...arts. Nadgrodkiewicz argues that under certain conditions and on the basis of obvious clues contained in the visual layer, Buñuel’s film can be seen as a work bearing signs of baroque art, standing apart from classic conventions of presentation, breaking the canon. In this context it is also important that "Un Chien Andalou" is a flagship piece of surrealism in which one might also find elements of the baroque. This modernistic, avant-garde trend also breaks the canon and classicism as it is generally understood. And thus also fits Wölfflin’s model of alternating baroque and classical styles.
Osnutak izvorno benediktinskog samostanskog kompleksa sv. Jakova u Opatiji, zahvaljujući novopronađenim zazidanim romaničkim otvorima prozora na zidu crkve, prebačen je u 11. ili 12. stoljeće. ...Nadalje se u tekstu obrađuju kasnogotički i kasnobarokni stilski slojevi crkve, u bitnim dijelovima uništeni proširenjima izvedenim od 1940. do 1942. godine. Urbanizacija koja je na prostoru liburnijskih srednjovjekovnih komuna započela u 11. i trajala do 16. stoljeća, bila je praćena i gradnjom sakralnih objekata na način siromašnih redovničkih, tj. pučkih crkvica ruralnih područja, u kojima su stilski zahtjevi novog vremena implementirani tek simbolički, gotovo uvijek u gabaritima izvornog zdanja ili njegovog tek nešto malo povećanog korpusa. U tu, širu sliku uklapa se i romanička, kasnogotička i kasnobarokna graditeljska prošlost crkve i samostana sv. Jakova.
