Marko Marulić

Aug 18, 1450 - Jan 5, 1524(73)

Marulić's character

Where can we see Marko Marulić today?

Božićević describes Marulić as a handsome man of medium and slender stature, with broad shoulders and a clear and broad forehead. His eyes were black, his nose aquiline, his face fit, his hair brown and long, his beard serious and dignified.

He spoke little, and among his friends he was pleasant and very witty. He was distinguished by learning, which he did not brag about - he hid it in himself more than he showed it. He was also very direct, whatever was on his heart, it was also on his tongue.

A then-living descendant of the famous Marulić family posed for the famous sculptor Ivan Meštrović's Marulić statue on Split's Fruit Square, created in 1925. Some claim that it is Meštrović's self-portrait.

Marulić's image is also on the 500 kuna banknote. In addition to Croatia, his monument is also located in Germany (Berlin) and Chile (Providence, Santiago de Chile).
