Baroque in Croatia. Presentation of baroque culture in Croatia in the socialist period

This article analyses examples of the presentation of baroque art and culture to broader audiences in Croatia while it was still part of Yugoslavia: the exhibition Croatia in the Seventeenth Century, which took place in 1958 at the City of Zagreb Museum, and texts with an overview of monuments in north-western Croatian municipalities, published in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Anđela Horvat (1911- 1985) in Kaj journal. The exhibition reflected the key ideas of the 1950s, the formative period of the socialist society’s cultural and artistic identity, from the very set-up and didactic purpose to the ideological scope that covers the subject of daily life in the seventeenth century. In the 1980s the ideological scope is less present, leaving much more space to the analysis of baroque monuments, as well as their commissioners – nobility – who are seen as active participants in cultural and art life of the baroque period.
