Opis
Razglednica portreta Janeza Vajkarda Valvasorja, ki ga obiskovalci lahko spoznajo na razstavi Muzej krasa, v Notranjskem muzeju Postojna. Avtor portreta je Ivan Franké, ki ga je naslikal s tehniko olje na platnu leta 1875. Valvasor je bil polihistor in je večino svojega življenja zapisal znanosti, zbirateljstvu ter preučevanju takratne dežele Kranjske, osrednjega dela današnje Slovenije. Ker je raziskoval in sistematično popisoval kraško podzemlje, je sodil med največje poznavalce jam tistega časa, zato danes velja za prvega speleologa in prvega jamarja na svetu.
Postcard of the portrait of Johann Weikhard von Valvasor, which visitors may see at the exhibition Karst Museum in the Notranjska Museum Postojna. The portrait was painted in oil on canvas in 1875 by Ivan Franké. Valvasor was a polymath who dedicated most of his life to science, collecting, and the study of Carniola, the central part of present-day Slovenia. Through his research and systematic documentation of the karst underground, he became one of the foremost experts on caves of his time. For this reason, he is regarded today as the world’s first speleologist and the first cave explorer.
