The three-storey building in Classicist style was designed for the building of the Classics High School by architect Vicko Andric, the first Croatian conservator. It was created by the rebuilding of several medieval houses abutting onto the eastern wall of Diocletian's Palace. Today it houses the Emanuel Vidović Gallery, dedicated to the life and work of a great Split and Croatian painter (1870-1953).

Also see . . . Emanuel Vidović -- Wikipedia. In Split and the surrounding area Vidović made many studies and sketches in plein-air, working with bright colours in the live landscape. Later in his studio, in transferring these fresh impressions to large canvases, Vidović would create a soft, lyrical and often symbolic atmosphere. His palette was getting darker, and many of these paintings demonstrate a strength and originality. On the brighter sections within otherwise dark paintings Vidović created intensive luminous and colourful effects. (Submitted on January 2, 2019, by Barry Swackhamer of Brentwood, California.)
