Abstract
In the Valvasor collection of the Zagreb Archbishopric in the Graphics Cabinet in Zagreb and in the Bogišić Collection in Cavtat there are the following copper etchings executed from ideas by Juraj Julije Klović, the Croatian miniature painter: 1) the Crucifixion, 2) the Entombment, 3) the Resurreciton, 4) the Appeal of St. Paul, and 5) St. George on a Horse. Numbers 1), 2, 4) and 5) are beyond doubt. In professional literature they are well known and described as the works of Cornelis Corte, and number 3), the Resurrection, is also Corte's copper etching, clearly done according to Klović, but it has not yet been described. The author considers that it is a print made from the original plate at a later date, when, due to damage, it had been touched up and somewhat reduced in size. The print was made by a German publisher, and on the basis of the watermark on the paper this was probably in Nürnberg in the last quarter of the 18th century (Paul Fürst?).
