You are warmly invited to join art historian Dr. Polona Vidmar in uncovering the story behind the neo-Baroque ceiling painting in the Grand Hall of the Maribor Art Gallery. Who commissioned the painting, and why? What is depicted in it? When was it created, and what characterizes that period? How does the painting compare to others in our region and beyond?

The presentation will be given by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Polona Vidmar, Department of Art History, Faculty of Arts, University of Maribor, and Senior Research Associate at the France Stele Institute of Art History, ZRC SAZU

The programme for the "Ta veseli dan kulture" is part of the Year of the Baroque, a collaborative initiative bringing together museums, educational institutions, and research organizations dedicated to exploring Baroque art.

Free admission. Participation is free of charge.
