Ranosrednjovjekovno likovno stvaralaštvo u Sloveniji

Milan Sagadin ; Institute for the Protection of Monuments, Kranj, Slovenia

Abstract

After the decline of the late antique material culture in the beginning of the 7th century, the first attempts of craft creativity in Slovenia are visible at the end of the 7th century -by introducing western figural style on circular brooches. We can speak about the real medieval art and craft creativity in Slovenia as late as the beginning of the 9th century and it is closely connected with christianisation (supported by the Prankish state). This creativity can be recognized in architecture (among the increasing number of churches mentioned in the 9th and 10th century only 6 of them are excavated), in sculpture with interlaced ornament (among 40 known examples only 3 are from the northeastern part of Slovenia, the others from Koper and its surroundings) and especially in the jewelry of the so called Kottlach culture (enameled semicircular earrings and circular brooches, usually with christian motifs).
