About this audio guide
This guide to the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation in Ljubljana is about the ceiling above you and the painter who made it: Matej Sternen, a Slovene Impressionist better known for portraits than for church vaults. It follows him up the scaffolding in the mid nineteen thirties, into a style that was never his own. Best heard standing in the middle of the nave, head tilted back.
