The master's thesis focuses on the baroque painter Franc Jelovšek (1700–1764), with a specific attention to his early works. As one of the pioneers of baroque illusionistic ceiling painting in Krain, he left behind a large number of works, among which frescoes take the first place, followed by a few panel works. Although Jelovšek's formation is not yet known, his early oeuvre gives us some of the concepts he was inspired by, such as similarities with some other painters, graphics, involvement in the local environment, acquaintances etc.
