Abstract
This article discusses the formats of the infl uences of European artistic styles
which have left a trail in Croatian folk art. The term folk art used here was
established in the beginning of the 20th century through the selection of ethnographic
items according to urban aesthetical criteria, which presented the
rural visual art opus. It starts by naming visual art elements included in the
ethnographic material, which point to Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque
and Rococo style infl uences. Two different items are specially analyzed;
the female folk costume from Pag, as an example of well-preserved Renaissance
infl uences and the so-called Dalmatian chest (a sub-group of Adriatic type)
as an example of the intertwining of different artistic styles and other cultural
infl uences in the past.
Keywords
