Dora Krupić
A bronze sculpture is made by Ivo Kerdić.
Dora Krupić is a character from August Šenoa’s novel “The Goldsmith’s Gold”. Published in 1871, the book is considered to be Croatia’s first real historical novel. The plot centres on a 16th- century love story involving a nobleman and a town girl called Dora, the kindly and beautiful daughter of a goldsmith. Tragically Dora ends up being poisoned by an evil local barber, enraged by her refusal of his marriage proposal. A bronze sculpture by Ivo Kerdić was commissioned in her honour in 1929.
