Yul Yost said "In Slovenia the National Gallery director was intrigued by the old painting of Bled that I bought here in the U.S. After judging the painting from a picture, some Slovenian art experts said that it was painted around 1860. This painting was obviously owned by a Slovenian person, but who? Has anybody seen it before? " If you can help with information about this painting, please contact the webmaster at swua.org . Thank you.
