Abstract
Pejačević family had settled in Slavonia in the 18th century. After some time they became owners of huge property: Ruma, Retfala, Virovitica, Našice, Podgorač. Maria Theresia bestowed earl title upon the family with the name "Virovitički", which they have been bearing since. Out of three families, which had lived in the 18th century, there is only one living today. That is našičko -virovitička family whose descendants lived in two castles in Našice till the middle of the 18th century. During the Second World War, the family stored precious works of art in a safe place. Commission for Preservation of Cultural Monuments (KOMZA) appointed by Peoples' Republic of Croatia, had been in
Našice between 1946 and 1948 and, by legal means, picked up preserved furniture and works of art and exhibited them in the Museum of Slavonia in Osijek. Because of that and thanks to Pejačević family who took care of those works of art, today there are numerous valuable works of art (furniture and craft) in the Museum and in the Art Gallery (about seventy paintings and thirty graphics) as well. They are being preserved there, studied and placed on view.
Portraits and paintings by : J. F. Miicke, J.G. Weickert, C. Rahl, M.C. Crnčić, V. Bukovac, D. Marković, Lj. Babić) from the Art Gallery in Osijek.
