A showcase of Marko Marulić, considered by some as the father of Croatian literature has opened on Zagreb’s central square of Europski trg. Running until February 2, the exhibition explores the intertwined histories of Marulić and his hometown of Split. Visitors will be introduced to some of his greatest and most famous works, including Judita, Institucija and Davidijada, as well as lesser-known facts such as the notion that he was one of the first people to coin the term ‘psychology’.
Panels also show how Marulić’s works reached influential figures around the world, and how some of his artistic output was listed among the banned books of the era.
The exhibition was conceived and designed by the Museum of the City of Split in co-operation with the National and University Library in Zagreb, and is accompanied by illustrations by Croat artist, illustrator and animator Milan Trenc.
By no means miss this great opportunity to pay homage to this literary giant, whose works are still inspiring five centuries later.
