The theme of Ivan Me\u0161trovi\u0107's works is closely related to his political principles of Yugoslavia at the time of the creation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, which became the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929. Parallel to that, sculptures with religious themes have a place of honor in his oeuvre.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c3bf055 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no\" data-id=\"c3bf055\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a7f511b\" data-id=\"a7f511b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-283bd09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"283bd09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>His choice of characters covered the characteristic epic narrative symbols of all the people who lived in this area.

Here, Me\u0161trovi\u0107 used the symbolism he designed for the Vidovdan Temple. The simple object of the mausoleum is placed on 5 pedestals (high steps). This is how the 5 centuries of Turkish slavery are represented, which was designed for the Vidovdan Temple as a tower with 5 levels decorated with caryatids. Here, that idea is refined, the levels are simple and cubic, and the mausoleum itself is decorated inside with 8 caryatids. The shape of this object has a model in early antique tombs especially in the tomb of the Persian ruler Cyrus on the territory of today's Iran.<\/p><p>Caryatids (sculptures of women carrying burdens on their heads) represent the mothers of fallen fighters. At the same time, they represent the ideas of Yugoslavia because each caryatid is in the costume of the people of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.<\/p><p>The monument was built in 1938. by order of King Alexander I Karadjordjevi\u0107 of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a1a3eb2 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no\" data-id=\"a1a3eb2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-482ab5e\" data-id=\"482ab5e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d3eece7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d3eece7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Departure from Yugoslavia<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f5fb36 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no\" data-id=\"2f5fb36\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1fc147c\" data-id=\"1fc147c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-015dbc6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"015dbc6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/arxxitektura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Majo-Klinika-Covek-i-njegova-sloboda-Mestrovic.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12095\" alt=\"Me\u0161trovi\u0107 , skulptura mu\u0161karca sa podignutim rukama u bronzi\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arxxitektura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Majo-Klinika-Covek-i-njegova-sloboda-Mestrovic.jpg 819w, https:\/\/arxxitektura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Majo-Klinika-Covek-i-njegova-sloboda-Mestrovic-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/arxxitektura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Majo-Klinika-Covek-i-njegova-sloboda-Mestrovic-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Me\u0161trovi\u0107, \u010covek i njegova sloboda, Klinika Majo, Minesota<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d63c9ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d63c9ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/84652765@N00\/335189996\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gonda lobby<\/a>&#8221; by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/84652765@N00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bdunnette<\/a>\u00a0is licensed under\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/?ref=openverse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CC BY-SA 2.0<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c22bedb\" data-id=\"c22bedb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f46cd06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f46cd06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The times in which he lived and created brought constant upheavals. Unification and formation of a new state, World War I, and World War II moved Me\u0161trovi\u0107 from place to place. At the beginning of World War II, his first wife, a Jew, was killed by the fascists. After serving three and a half months in prison, Me\u0161trovi\u0107 escaped from Croatia under the pretext of going to the Venice Biennale.<\/p><p>He goes to the USA where he stays for the rest of his life. Very soon after his arrival, he set up an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. That exhibition was a great precedent because the Metropolitan Museum could not exhibit the works of living artists. He teaches at the University of Syracuse. He leaves behind a sculpture of the Native American Archer on horseback in one of Chicago's city squares. He commissioned the sculpture Man and Freedom in Minnesota for the famous Mayo Clinic.<\/p><p>A Yugoslav nationality by conviction was also a monarchist, he never accepted the communist government. His deep religious feelings led him as far as possible from the new communist government. In his opus, there are 30 reliefs with religious themes. He used his only visit to Yugoslavia to support Alojz Stepinac, a Catholic cardinal whom he believed was a victim of communist propaganda.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b00afcf elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no\" data-id=\"b00afcf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c7d0f7\" data-id=\"5c7d0f7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c448807 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c448807\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mausoleum of Petar Petrovi\u0107 Njego\u0161, Montenegro<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dd3154 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4dd3154\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Another masterpiece in which sculptor and architect Ivan Me\u0161trovi\u0107 left his distinctive mark.<\/p><p>The history of the creation of this mausoleum, which is located at the highest point of the Lov\u0107en National Park in Montenegro, is interesting. The first designs were ordered by King Aleksandar I Kara\u0111or\u0111evi\u0107 from Me\u0161trovi\u0107 as early as 1924. The lack of funds caused the abandonment of construction. The following year, a copy of Njego\u0161's covenant church, destroyed during shelling in World War I, was erected on that spot.<\/p><p>After World War II, in communist Yugoslavia in 1951. on the occasion of the centenary of Njego\u0161's death, the question of building a mausoleum is raised. An unsuccessful competition for a new solution was organized and the authorities decided to contact Ivan Me\u0161trovi\u0107 through diplomatic missions in the USA. He agrees to finish the project he started and organizes collaborators in Yugoslavia who will carry out this project. The caryatid sculptures were completed in 1958, but construction approval would wait another 10 years. The mausoleum was inaugurated only in 1974.<\/p><p>The construction of this mausoleum was accompanied by enormous resistance from the very beginning. The Orthodox Church has clearly expressed its negative attitude towards this building. A commission composed of art historians and well-known intellectuals was formed. The writer Miroslav Krle\u017ea was strongly against this idea, even disputing its artistic value.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-159fe90 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no\" data-id=\"159fe90\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-de53930\" data-id=\"de53930\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33b3b1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"33b3b1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The stylistic features of the architecture of Njego\u0161 Mausoleum<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2cff676 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no\" data-id=\"2cff676\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8e8205e\" data-id=\"8e8205e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d15613e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d15613e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/arxxitektura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Izgled-Njegosevog-mauzoleja-na-Lovcenu-768x510.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-12492\" alt=\"Ivan Me\u0161trovi\u0107 , Njego\u0161ev mauzolej , prilaz na najvi\u0161u ta\u010dku Lov\u0107ena na kom se nalazi objekat mauzoleja u kombinaciji svetlog i tamnog kamena , jednostavne strukture\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arxxitektura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Izgled-Njegosevog-mauzoleja-na-Lovcenu-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arxxitektura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Izgled-Njegosevog-mauzoleja-na-Lovcenu-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/arxxitektura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Izgled-Njegosevog-mauzoleja-na-Lovcenu.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Njego\u0161ev mauzolej, Lov\u0107en <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78eec13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"78eec13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/113306963@N05\/26383784099\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Njegos Mausoleum, Lovcen National Park, Montenegro<\/a>&#8221;

He remained faithful to the characteristics of his architectural expression. An extremely simple design structure has been used again. The cube of the mausoleum is lined with dark stone, surrounded by walls of light stone, which, due to the roughness of the processing, resemble the walls of a ruined church. This envelope forms a vestibule and is thus reminiscent of ancient patterns, sort of <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/sr.wikipedia.org\/sr-el\/%D0%9F%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">peristyle<\/a><\/span> The resemblance with ancient models is evident. Me\u0161trovi\u0107 took colonnades and caryatids from Greek architecture history, and local stone and massive walls without openings from the Montenegrin architectural heritage. A courtyard with a colonnade of powerful, rough stone blocks is the vestibule of the chapel. As a contrast to that rough massiveness, caryatids of Montenegrin women, mothers, and daughters, in folk costumes were placed. They mark the entrance.
