Sažetak
Beginnings of art history in Croatia are inextricably connected with the first chair of art history at the University of Zagreb Izidor Kršnjavi (1845-1927). Being schooled previously in Vienna, Kršnjavi was invited as an expert to return to Croatia by Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer to move his private collection of paintings from Đakovo to newly established Strossmayer’s art gallery of old masters in Zagreb and to establish art history department at the University of Zagreb. Since art history was relatively new academic discipline, there was a lack of experts throughout Europe. Art history in the Habsburg Monarchy emerged in Vienna as a part of empire-building process of establishing multinational political nation. While Kršnjavi adopted such approach, he also used art history in the Croatian nation-building in order to establish essentialized representation of the Croatian culture through his work at the University and through his participation in the arts and crafts movement. The other goal of art history in Croatia was to present Croatian nation as the one possessing history and culture, while being closely connected with the cultural nations of the West. Teaching art history at university level had its main goal in creating educated elite that would spread the state ideology. Although it is uncertain how many students adopted such ideology, the political situation changed from closed debates of small number of politicians during the mid-nineteenth century towards a more nationalist political mobilization among wider masses at the end of the century.
