Abstract

The research of Renate Wagner-Rieger has influenced the whole Central European area, as well the development of art history in Croatia, especially architectural research. The texts by Wagner-Rieger from the 1960s and 1970s would most likely have given impulse to the development of Baroque research, especially in northern Croatia. The most important theses of Wagner-Rieger, which were adopted in Croatian research, are first of all the typology of the Jesuit churches, which Đurđica Cvitanović (1924-2009) developed further using examples of Jesuit architecture in Croatia, as well as the stylistic pluralism as the most important stylistic feature of the Art of the Mariatheresian Era in texts by Anđela Horvat (1911-1985).
