The Baroque Appreciation of King Zvonimir's Coronation
Milan Ivanišević
Abstract
The paper presents contents of a sequence of wall paintings in three rooms on the first floor of the Vatican Secret Archives. The paintings were made in the period of time beginning in the year 1610, and certainly finished by December 1614, when the Archive was moved on these premises. The paintings show twenty-six events of importance for the then Church. These are important in the European history as well, and include the 1076 coronation of the king Zvonimir. Thus, this is the only event of the Croatian history that is made part of the European history, which confirms the way of appreciation of us at the time of Baroque.
