Popis: | Autori u svom radu prikazuju život i djelovanje Ljudevita baruna Ožegovića (1841. - 1913.), sina Metela Ožegovića. Opisani su njegove obiteljske prilike, gospodarska, politička i humanitarna djelatnost, a najveći dio rada posvećen je njegovom slikarstvu. Baron Ljudevit Ožegović (born in Varaždin on 28th February 1841, died in Zagreb on 28th October 1913), was born to the well-known Illyrianist Metel Ožegović and his wife Ivana, Countess Sermage. He was educated in Vienna where he completed studies of law and philosophy. His first wife was Countess Olga Erdody and later he married Ivka Hayos( Hiršl), who was a teacher. From the two he had two daughters and three sons. The basis of his economic activity was his property Gušćerovec- Veliki Kalnik which he inherited from his mother. Being a respectable large-estate owner he was the president of Križevci - based branch of the Croato Slavonian Economic Society in the period from 1874 to 1896. As a member of the National and Independent Party he was three times elected to the Croatian Diet and to the Lower House of the Hungarian Parliament as well. He left his father’s rich library to the University Library in Zagreb whereas his correspondence and part of family-owned books were donated to the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences/CAAS. Today this makes the core of the Ožegovićiana collection in the CAAS archi¬ves. Ljudevit Ožegović gladly helped the School of Agriculture in Križevci and is particularly meritorious for the founding of elementary school in Ka¬lnik in 1865. Besides being a politician he also took delight in painting as an amateur. We know of 23 of his paintings and 3 postcards, actually photos of his probably lost paintings. He mostly painted religious scenes for churches and always signed his works. Unfortunately, very little is known about his art. |
