From the garden, you can enter the third oldest gallery in Slovakia which is named after painter Peter Michal Bohúň. He was a portraying master. Do you know what is portraying or a portrait? Read the answer: Photos were not common over 150 years ago. When somebody wanted to keep a representation of a relative or a friend, he or she had his or her portrait made. People on Bohúň´s paintings look like in reality. He paid attention to every detail – on clothes, jewels and on the portrait of 5-year-old Marienka Medvecká, he even painted candles that children used to play with in the past.
