Sažetak
Croatia, although a new political entity as an independent state, has a long history of conservation and restoration of its cultural heritage. Frequent changes of political, social and ideological systems brought many discontinuities and new beginnings. The beginning of the organized protection of historic and artistic monuments was linked to the Viennese I. and R. Central Commission. Only the Austrian part of the Monarchy was under its jurisdiction after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867. The protector of Central Commission, archduke Francis Ferdinand initiated the founding of the Zagreb conservation office in 1910 as the first triadic institution. The existence of the network of scholars already during the 19th century resulted in a scholarly tradition related to the Viennese School of Art History and conservation policies, whose protagonists were Gjuro Szabo, Ljubo Karaman and Anđela Horvat. The model of Central Commission enriched with German, French, Belgian, Italian, and - after the World War II – Polish experiences influenced the organisation of conservation institutes in Yugoslavia, whose protagonists in Croatia were Milan Prelog and Cvito Fisković. In his 1965 text on flexible implementation of the motto “ to preserve, not to restore” Ljubo Karaman allowed restoration 1) if the condition of the monument urges us to intervene because of esthetical or functional reasons, 2) if we are in totality and in detail familiar with the original appearance of the monument and 3) if it doesn’t bring harmfull consequences of any kind.
