| This gallery is dedicated to Supetar resident and leading Croatian sculptor Ivan Rendić (1849-1932). On the first floor of the town’s library building, this single room houses a collection of busts and drawings of the sculptor’s many memorials. There are also other designs, such as that for the sublime campanile in Ložišća, as well as artefacts such as a letter from English Prime Minister Gladstone thanking Rendić effusively for the gift of a bust which the artist sent to him. Outside the gallery is a bronze sculpture of a female figure named “Allegory of the Mind”. A visit to this gallery is essential for anyone who would like to get deeper into the story of Rendić, the larger-than-life figure from Brač. You can buy a beautiful coffee table book with the history of his life and photographs of his works. |
