The article mentions a new fact from Jurje Julie Klovic's life – his stay in France. Following this trail and the details from the article and other documents and literature, the author tried to estimate the time of his journey to France and the return of the famous miniaturist. From all the indications that stem out of known facts, he ascertained that the most likely period of Klovic's stay in France was between September 1552 and April 1553.
Apart from this, the article mentioned the painting of St Ursula, painted by Klovic, which was sent to Prague as a gift. Also mentioned was Klovic’s apprentice who could recognize the painting and testify to its value. According to the author, that Klovic's apprentice, who wasn’t identified in the letter, could be Bartholomeus Spranger. There are more unknowns in the letter that require further research and would clear up Jurje Julije Klovic's stay in France.

We have very little, or no known paintings from that period. Thanks to the published work in the " Gazzetta di Parma " from the second of November 1998, the year of the 500 th anniversary of the great masters birth, I received information about a Klovic miniature that is in a private collection in Parma. Thanks to the kindness of Professor Luciano Salvi I can present the same information to Croatian art historians and to all who respect Klovic's work. The painting shows the crucified Christ and is painted in oil technique on a copper plate; its format is A4 and it is framed in a wooden frame carved in niches with woman figures. Christ is drawn in contrast to the dark background and it represents the moment that an evangelist witnessed: " When the sixth hour came, there was darkness in the whole land until the ninth hour. " 2 The use of colours is reduced to a minimum-a monochromatic Christ on the cross on a background that changes from blue to black. At the bottom of the cross there is a skull and in the distance barley recognizable shadows of buildings. Reduced in context and form the painting was meant for private adoration and praise. All this points to the later period of the master's work. In 1968 Guiliano Brigneti attributed the miniature to Marcelo Venustij (aprox. 1512, Rome 1579) comparing it to The Crucifixion With Two Angels from the Gallery Corsini in Firenza. 3 Later on Frederico Zeri recognized Klovic's work in it. He based his statements on comparisons to Klovic's painting of The Crucifixion With Magdalena from the Gallery Uffizi in Firenza. Apart from this Vensuti's paintings have no landscape in the background and the buildings that are present in The Crucifixion in Parma are similar to the painting in Firenza. On both paintings on the left side of the cross there is noticeable pyramid shape and on the right side a circular building on a hill with three levels a dome and a tower. We can find similar buildings in the background landscape on a painting from the British Museum in London. 4 The similarities with the painting in the British Museum can be seen in the shape
