The Golden Age of Dubrovnik

Welcome to The Arts Society Norwich

John Innes Centre
Norwich Research Park, Colney Lane Norwich NR4 7UH
Online Event

The lecture tells the story of the making of the Dubrovnik Republic and its political and artistic heydays during the 15th and 16th century. Majestic altarpieces, churches and civic buildings serve as perfect examples of Mediterranean Renaissance, combining Italian influences with local medieval and neighbouring eastern traditions. The importance of Dubrovnik in European history stretches beyond its untouched walls and numerous bell towers. The historical heritage of this truly unique city is explained not just with a passion of an art historian but also with the insight of a native Croatian.
