Sažetak
Alvina and Pavao counts of Pejacevic were the owners of a rich collection comprising approximately ninety works of art placed in the Podgorac manor-house and the palace in Osijek until the beginning of the 20th century. The Pejacevic spouses, but first of all the countess Alvina collected a huge number of paintings by the mid 19th century, about thirty, some painted by Karl RahPs and his pupils, by Hungarian and Austrian painters (Than, Hoffmann, Girgl, Grimm, Lotz...). The collection comprised romantic portraits of the Pejačević and Hilleprand von Prandau family members, then genre scenes, landscapes, biblical and mythological scenes and animal motifs and its holdings were preserved in the Slavonian museums and galleries. By ordering and purchasing the works of art, the married couple supported young artists that were educated in the private painting school of Karl Rahl in Vienna in the mid 19th century. According to the discovered landscape signed by the name of countess Alvina, she is assumed to have also attended the school and taken private lessons there. Her painting education made her one of few noblewoman-painters in the mid 19th century. Since she spent most of her time in Budapest and Vienna, she moved together with her husband in high noble circles. After her death the count Pavao retired to his manor-house in Podgorac and lived there for many years, until 1907. Since they were childless, before his death the count sold his manor-house with all its inventory to Alvinas nephew in 1902, the count Rudolf Normann of Valpovo and he also left family portraits to him by will. Gradually with time the works of art from Podgorac were transported to the Valpovo manor-house where together with rich artistic collection of Valpovo estate-owners they remained until the World War II. A part of objects was transferred by KOMZA to Museum of Slavonia in Osijek as an assembly centre for Slavonian manor-house inventories while the other part of the most valuable objects was preserved in Valpovo by the count Normanns widow, Julija born Edler von Vest. Before she left for Austria in 1952, she deposited the objects in the Museum of Slavonia in Osijek. By establishing the Gallery of Fine Arts, Osijek in the mid 20th century, the most valuable visual objects from the heritage of Slavonian manor-houses and also from the manor-house in Podgorac, became the integral holdings of the Gallery of fine arts. The works of art from the manor-house in Podgorac have for many years been viewed as visual heritage from Valpovo and even from Nasice until, due to stickers on subframes and signatures on rear canvas fragment, they were identified and valued as a rich collection of Alvina and Pavao counts Pejacevic from Podgorac.
