Visual sources were important instruments in creating ceiling paintings in various aspects. In Styria, numerous prints have been identified, which were used by painters in making complex monumental scenes. This paper analyses the impact of visual sources on the concepts of ceiling paintings. To provide an in-depth insight into the artistic and commissioning practices, the case studies of the monasteries in Pöllau, Vorau, Adomnt and Ptuj are presented.

B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 36129581Editorial work for the Art in the Pocket series; the first booklets of the series were published in 2010 as part of the Ljubljana – World Capital of Book 2010 programme. In 2012 two books were published. Using a scientific and at the same time popularly appealing language, which is supported by numerous illustrations, the authors focus on fine art and architectural monuments, also by including them into a wider social context. The highly recognizable series is very efficient in making the Slovene artistic heritage widely known and popular. Franci Lazarini: Franciscan Church in Maribor: The book represents one of the main architectural monuments of the late Historicism in Slovenia, the Franciscan church in Maribor, built between 1893 and 1895 according to the plans of Viennese architect Richard Jordan. This Neo-Romanesque basilica distinguishes by architectural elements reflecting the most topical architectural trends of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, as well as by high quality furnishings which was designed in the time of the construction and made in the first decades of the 20th century. The monograph discusses on the events leading to the connstruction of the new church, the construction itself, the architectural features, later renovations, furnishings and the mural which was dstroyed after the second world war. The final part of the monograph sheds light on the role and significance of the Franciscan church in Jordan's oeuvre and in the context of the church architecture at the end of the 19th century in Slovenia. Ana Lavrič: The Monument of Bishop Anton Martin Slomšek. Slovenian National Awakener in Visual Arts: The monument of the national awakener Slomšek was conceived as a public national monument, but was due to the social-political circumstances in Maribor (the pressures of the German-Liberal town authorities) finally erected in the Cathedral, where it acquired a tombstone-related function. The monograph discusses comprehensively the political and art historical aspects of the monument, establishing its wider context, related to the transfer of the seat of the Lavantine Diocese from Sankt Ändra to Maribor, to construction and artistic works required for Diocese establishments, and to the role of ‘national’ saints popularised by Slomšek to encourage national awareness and identity of Slovenian population. A special emphasis is placed also on depictions and portraits of Slomšek and their role in the formation of Slomšek as a national cult and saintly figure.
