Nineteenth and twentieth century Slovenian works of art in the National
Gallery of Slovenia’s permanent collection are slightly rearranged because some
key artworks are on exhibition abroad. Along with the outstanding Slovenian
artistic names, the current layout presents also the works by Hinko Smrekar and
Saša Šantel from among the treasures kept in the gallery storeroom that were
not included in the previous editions of the permanent collection. The newly
presented works by 19th and 20th century artists are
rarely seen in public, although in terms of quality and their representative
merit they rank among the first category of our most important masterpieces.
May this be an opportunity to learn about the gems from the holdings of the
National Gallery, namely the works of art that belong to the permanent
collection of art in Slovenia but because of insufficient space they can only
be on view for the public occasionally.
