Baroque in Slovenia

The last major exhibitions dedicated to this period – Baroque in Slovenia and Art of the 17th Century in Slovenia – were organised at the National Gallery more than half a century ago. Thanks to subsequent research, they are now able to offer the public a more in-depth and, in many ways, different perspective on the art of the 17th and 18th centuries.

For this year’s exhibition, Baroque in Slovenia, they have selected more than 170 artworks created in or for the territory of present-day Slovenia during the 17th and 18th centuries – a time when, following the Middle Ages, we again witness a significant artistic revival. The exhibited works are by renowned masters who were active in nearby artistic centres or who established themselves within the local environment.
