About this audio guide
This guide to Klovićevi Dvori Gallery in Zagreb follows the Renaissance miniaturist whose name hangs over its door, Juraj Julije Klović, a village boy from Croatia who went to Italy to learn to paint. It turns on Rome in fifteen twenty-seven, the soldiers who seized him in a cardinal's house, and the promise he made there. Cardinals, a pope, Vasari and a young El Greco all pass through. Best heard in front of the Baroque doorway on Jesuit Square.
