Art monuments are analysed in the context of the broader socio-political circumstances and their impact on visual art, which also allows for their improved evaluation and represents a vital contribution to more effective art heritage protection. Methodologically, our research makes use of the approaches from the fields of art, architectural, cultural, social, political, and general history, as well as archaeology, theology, sociology of culture, and anthropology of visual art.

The latter is often more important in life than any calculated plans.įrance STELE, Iz konservatorskih spominov, Which were guided by a true professional instinct I do not imagine any particular excellence in my actions
