Dominican monastery, Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dominican monastery, Dubrovnik, Croatia. The Adriatic port of Dubrovnik was founded by Roman refugees in the 7th century, and came under Byzantine rule after the fall of the Roman Empire. The city developed into a trading power and was an important centre of Slavic art and literature in the 15th-17th century. From the 14th century Dubrovnik was an independent city state, but it fell to Napoleon in 1808, after which the city passed to Austrian administration in 1815 and Yugoslavian in 1918. Dubrovnik was bombarded by the Serbs during Croatias struggle for independence in 1991-1992. The Dominican monastery dates from the 15th century

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Dominican monastery in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Steeped in rich history, this Adriatic port city was established by Roman refugees in the 7th century and later came under Byzantine rule. Over time, Dubrovnik flourished as a prominent trading power and emerged as a significant center of Slavic art and literature during the 15th to 17th centuries. The image captures the essence of this medieval city-state that stood independently for several centuries until it succumbed to Napoleon's forces in 1808. Subsequently, Dubrovnik passed into Austrian administration in 1815 before becoming part of Yugoslavia in 1918. However, its tumultuous past did not end there. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships endured by Dubrovnik during Croatia's struggle for independence from Serbia between 1991-1992 when it faced bombardment. Amidst these historical layers stands the Dominican monastery itself, an architectural gem dating back to the fifteenth century. Its stunning tiled rooftops and towering structure create an impressive silhouette against the backdrop of both sea and sky. This print encapsulates not only a physical representation of Croatian heritage but also symbolizes resilience and endurance throughout turbulent times. It is a testament to Dubrovnik's enduring spirit as it continues to thrive today while preserving its cultural legacy for future generations to admire.
