I travelled to see Ljubljana 1847 by Pavel Kunl at the National Gallery of Slovenia in Ljublana. Come join me there too. Welcome to Art, Culture & Travel with me, Anthony King.
Pavel Künl was born on March 8th 1817 in the Czech Republic. He resided in Ljubljana from 1844 and instructed his daughter Ida in painting. Working primarily in oil, he was also experimented with watercolours and produced theatre scenery and decorations. Influenced by Viennese Biedermeier, he crafted portraits, landscapes, and religious art, including altar paintings and Stations of the Cross. This painting depicts the transformation of old Ljubljana, standing as a significant landscape in 19th-century Slovenian art. Notable among his works in Slovenia is the Assumption of Mary painting in Fara parish church’s main altar.
