Croatian+Renaissance+and+Baroque

=**V. Croatian Renaissance (14th-15th century) and Baroque (17th - 18th century)**= ===="I**n the 15th century, Croatia was divided between three states: northern Croatia was a part of //Austrian Empire//, Dalmatia was under the rule of the // Venetian Republic (with the exception of Dubrovnik)// and Slavonia was under //Ottoman// occupation. Dalmatia was on the periphery of several influences so religious and public architecture clearly influenced by the Italian renaissance flourished. Three works from of that period are of European importance, and would contribute to the further development of //Renaissance// architecture: the __ Cathedral of St James in Šibenik__, in 1441 by Giorgio da Sebenico; the __//chapel of Blessed John from Trogir//__ in 1468 by Niccolò Fiorentino ; and __//Sorkočević's villa//__ in //Lapad// near Dubrovnik in 1521."

====**"In the 17th and 18th centuries, Croatia was reunited with the parts of country that were occupied by the Venetian Republic and Ottoman Empire. The unity contributed to the sudden __//flourishing of art of every kind.//__ Large fortifications with radial plans, ditches and numerous towers were built because of the constant Ottoman threat. The two largest ones were Osijek and //__Slavonski Brod__//. Later they became large cities. Urban planning in the Baroque style is found in numerous new towns like Karlovac, Bjelovar, Koprivnica, and Rovitica . The cities of Dalmatia also had Baroque towers and bastions incorporated into their old walls, like the ones in Pula, Šibenik or Hvar. However the largest Baroque undertaking was in Dubrovnik in the 17th century after a catastrophic earthquake in 1667 when almost the entire city was destroyed."**====
