Medieval Art Research in the Slovenian Territory

Abstract

The author deals with the research of the art of the Middle Ages in the Slovene territory from the beginnings of critical writing in the middle of the 19th century until today. The first period, until the begining of the 20th century, is connected with the acitivity of the Vienna Central Commission, the second, between the world wars, however, was effected by France Stele, who was uniting practical conservatory work with scientific research. In the third period, after the end of the second world war, the research was divided into monographic research of individual artistic kinds to which Stele's individual pupils focused their attention.
