Summary
Encyclopedia of Croatian Art
Editor-in-Chief: Željko Domljan
Encyclopedia of Croatian Art is an essential professional encyclopedia that deals with the traditional disciplines of fine art - painting, sculpture, architecture and applied art. It also brings material from the wider field of cultural history and includes scientific disciplines such as archaeology, ethnology, museology or monument protection.
Biographical articles are dedicated to the work of artists, researchers, art historians and art critics, and a series of texts on archaeological sites, monastery complexes, castles, groups of stećaks and cities make up an exhaustive topographical inventory of artistic monuments. A lot of information was collected about institutions, publications, museums, galleries, art groups, scientific institutes and magazines, and a bibliography of books and publications in the field of fine arts was compiled. Stylistic-artistic periods, individual artistic types and types of monuments are covered in larger, synthetic articles. The texts also provide material that is systematically presented for the first time - data, attributions, hypotheses and interpretations, and the appendices allow insight into hard-to-find works. The Encyclopedia of Croatian Art interprets Croatian art as part of world heritage.
