Abstract
As a connoisseur of the opus of the late 17th century painter Bernard Bobić, the author provides a critical interpretation of the part of his opus preserved in Zagreb, in the book entitled Barok u Hrvatskoj (The Baroque in Croatia) (Zagreb, 1982). He insists on the assumption that this is the work of this artist, and presents new data. He explains that the painting entitled »Queen Jelena before King Ladislav« is a scene from »Ladislav Protects the Widws and Orphans«, and he draws attention to the fact that he was first to inform scholarly circles that Bobić's »St. Christopher« was painted using a painting by Jacobo Bassano as its model. He also explains the phenomenon of the twisted coat of arms of Slavonia on the painting entitled »The Croatian Nobles before King Ladislav«.
