WORD

  • Home

Historicism or historism comprises artistic styles that draw their inspiration from recreating historic styles or imitating the work of historic artisans. This is especially prevalent in architecture, such as Revival architecture. Through a combination of different styles or implementation of new elements, historicism can create completely different aesthetics than former styles. Thus, it offers a great variety of possible designs.

The Koprivnica Gallery is situated on the main square of Koprivnica, designed in the Historicist style during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its strategic location offers a splendid view of the city's walled park and the majestic city hall, complete with a clock. The gallery was established in 1977 as an independent organizational unit under the umbrella of the Museum of the City of Koprivnica, housed in the former First People's Savings Bank building (Gjuro Carnelutti, 1904). Functioning as an exhibition hall, the gallery proudly showcases a wide array of invaluable museum collections. Among them are collections of old masters, graphic sheets, drawings, architectural plans, and modern and contemporary paintings. The gallery places a special emphasis on acquiring works by artists who have ties to Koprivnica and the Koprivnica Podravina region, whether through their origin, residence, or creative endeavors. This commitment serves to highlight the thriving and dynamic contemporary art scene within the area.

The Kenesa of Vilnius built in 1911-1923 is one of two Karaim prayer houses open in Lithuania. The other one is in Trakai. The architect Michail Prozorov designed the rectangular building with a three-walled apse according to the requirements of Karaim liturgy and the Historicist architectural style, which was fashionable at that time. The oriental-style facade has a protruding central part and the onion-shaped dome over it. The distinctive exterior of the building emphasises its unique purpose. In 1949, the Kenesa, along with many other sacred buildings, was nationalised and closed down. In 1988, it was returned to the Karaim community. In 1993, it was re-consecrated and has remained open since.
