Juraj Ĉulinović renesansni je slikar petnaestog stoljeća hrvatskog podrijetla koji se školovao u radionici Francesca Squarcionea u Padovi. U ovom radu detaljno su obraĊena dva njegova djela: poliptih iz crkve sv. Nikole u Padovi i Bogorodica s Djetetom. Oba djela ĉuvaju se u National Gallery u Londonu. Neposredan uvid u djela, koja se nalaze u depo Galerije i nisu lako dostupna istraţivaĉima, stvorio je priliku za njihovu temeljitu obradu te otvorio vrata nekim novim interpretacijama. U istraţivanju i izradi diplomskog rada korišteno je nekoliko povjesnoumjetniĉkim metoda: autopsija prilikom uvida u djela u depou National Gallery te formalna, ikonografska i komparativna analiza. Osim toga, pregledani su i obraĊeni i arhivski te muzejski podaci koji se ĉuvaju u Research Centeru National Gallery u fondu National Gallery Archivea radi što detaljnijeg i sveobuhvatnije analize oba djela. Ĉulinovićev poliptih iz crkve sv. Nikole u Padovi preko Edinburgha i Pariza, 1860. godine dolazi u zbirku National Gallery u Londonu. Ovaj poliptih sadrţi deset slikanih polja s prikazima svetaca, Imago pietatis te Bogorodice s Djetetom. Svi prikazi nalaze se na pozlaćenoj pozadini te su vješto slikarski izvedeni. Ne postoje zapisi o izvornom izgledu poliptiha, kao ni o okviru u koji su slikana polja bila smještena, što otvara mogućnost raznih interpretacija razmještaja slikanih polja o kojima se u radu raspravlja. Uz to, postoje i razna nagaĊanja oko identifikacije starije svetice s palmom i knjigom, prikazane na jedom od polja. Slikarska rješenja za mnoge od prikaza Ĉulinović pronalazi u radovima umjetnika sjevernotalijanskog kruga. Slika Bogorodica s Djetetom bogato je dekoriran prikaz dopojasno prikazane Bogorodice tipiĉan za padovansku školu. Bogorodica i Dijete na ovoj su slici smješteni su u iluzionirani arhitektonski okviru urešen antikizirajućim motivima u donatelijanskoj tradiciji. Cijeli prikaz pun je vjerskih simbola koji kroz vegetabilne i ţivotinjske motive komuniciraju s promatraĉem-vjernikom. Osim simbola, na slici su prikazana i dva slova, »A« i »P« ĉije znaĉenje već godinama intrigira istraţivaĉe. Rad Juraj Ĉulinović is fifteenth century renaissance painter of Croatian heritage who studyed painting in Francesco Squarcione's workshop in Padua. This thesis is focused on two of his works that are part of National Gallery Collection in London: Altarpiece from Paduan church of St. Nicolo and Madonna with Child. These painting are currentily in store and are not for public viewing. Direct contact with paintings enabled torough research upon all aspects of the work. In addition to formal analysis, this research was enlarged with documents and archive notations form National Gallery Archive fundus in National Gallery Research Centre. Ĉulinović's altarpiece was made for the church of St. Nicolo in Padua. After, it was part of various collections in Edinbourgh and Paris before it ended in London's National Gallery Collection. This altarpiece contains ten paintings with representaions og various saints, Imago pietatis and Madonna with Child. All thees paintings have golden bachground with detailed human figures up front. There are no documents or descriptions about how these painting were originally organized, hence many researchers gave their visions on this matter. Thus, one of the saints is still not identifyed. This femail morty ispainted with book and a palm lief. For most of his paintings on this altarpiece Ĉulinović used some of technical solutions made by artists from his circle. Madonna with Child is a tipical paduan reproduction of half-lengh Virgin with Child Christ by her side. They are painted in highly decorative arch-work detailed with sami-antiq details. Thus, painting is full of Christian symbols, in terms of various fruit and animal motives. One of the questions that is intriguing researcherches is the meaning of letters »A« and »P« painted on both sides of painting.
