The Portrait of Rajmund Kunić

Sažetak
The portrait of the distinguished Ragusan classicist Rajmund Kunić was painted by Petar Katušić (1767-1788), aneo-classic painter from Dubrovnik according to F. M. Appendini and his work Notizie istorico-critiche sulle antichità storia e letteratura de'Ragusei. The portrait has long been missing but several copies serve as valuable source. The oldest copy was painted between 1802 and 1805 to order of the brothers Vlaho and Luko Stulli by Carmelo Reggio who resided in Dubrovnik. Few years ago it was stolen from the Science Library in Dubrovnik which stored a series of Reggio’s portraits of Ragusan personalities. The second copy of Katušić’s portrait is held in the Library of the Friars Minor, apparently the work of an unknown author painted between 1809 and 1821 for the Ragusan nobleman Antun Sorgo along with another series of portraits ofDubrovnik eminent citizens. The third copy was originally a drawing and later lithographed for Galleria di Ragusei illustri in 1841 by P. F. Martecchini. These copies offer us reason to believe that Katušić’s portrait was the work of undoubtful quality and enable us to recreate the portrait of Kunić as a man of prominent features.
