Radovan's monumental portal, with its pronounced humanisation of Christian iconography, is an incorporation of new subjects and a huge number of realistic details from everyday life, and mastery of volume. It represents worthily Gothic sculpture on Croatian soil and is contemporaneous with developments in the most advanced centres of European art in the first half of the 13th century.
