Diligentia in Minimis Maxima Julije Klović as a Scientific Topic of and Literary Inspiration to Ivan Golub

; Croatian Parliament, Library, Zagreb, Coratia
Abstract
Among the many scholars of life and work of Julije Klović (1498–1578) a special place belongs to Ivan Golub. Namely, apart from publishing a dozen scientific articles on Klović, Golub dedicated the same amount of literary and similar writings to the Croatian Renaissance miniaturist painter. After an analysis and interpretation of Golub’s scientific and literary works dedicated to Klović, the author reaches the conclusion that Klović represents for Golub not only a scientific topic but also an artistic one. Furthermore, one could say that Klović is for Golub a life inspiration, primarily as one of ours in the Eternal City with whom Golub could identify; i.e. as a Croatian citizen who worked (artistically) abroad. Apart from that, similarities between Golub and Klović can be recognised also in the fact that they both worked on religious motifs and they both strived for expressive minimalism, that is, they were interested in so‑called little things.
