Nikola Božidarević

Nikola Božidarević

Nikola Božidarević or Nicola Ragusei, (before 1460 – 1517) was a Croatian painter active in the Republic of Ragusa (today Dubrovnik). He is the most important Croatian artist of the end of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth century.

Life

Nikola Božidarević came from the village of Krušice near Slano. His date of birth is unknown but he died a well-respected and rich man in Dubrovnik in 1517. He was a hard-working and greatly sought-after man, as can be seen from numerous documents and contracts kept in the Dubrovnik archives. Monasteries like the Franciscans in Cavtat and the Dubrovnik Dominicans commissioned works from him, as did noble families and individuals and some churches.

Only four painting are still in existence from his entire career: a tryptych on a side altar in the Bumdevič Chapel of the Dominican monastery in Dubrovnik, The Annunciation in the art gallery of the Dominican church, the Durdevič family's altarpiece in the capitulary hall of the Dominican monastery, and another triptych in the Franciscan church on Lopud has also been ascribed to him.[1]
