The home of Radeta Stanković, sculptor, was built in 1912 as an inner yard house, probably after the design by architect Nikola Nestorović. It is a one–storey building with the ground floor turned into a studio and the residential upper floor. The asymmetrical three–plane façade bears no decorative elements. Radeta Stanković, sculptor, lived and worked in this house from 1936, when he came to Belgrade, to the end of his life in 1996. This distinguished artist belongs to the sculpting school of Ivan Meštrović, Frano Kršinić and Robert Frangeš. He later transferred the accumulated knowledge and his great experience to generations of students at the Academy of Applied Arts in Belgrade, where he had taught since its foundation in 1948. Stanković left a rich legacy. Although he was devoted to the classical tradition, he had sufficient freedom of spirit to introduce an impressionistic approach in modelling and art nouveau in sculpting, and created works of exceptional harmony and originality. The home of Radeta Stanković is not only the place where artist worked, but the majority of his works are kept there as important items of the twentieth century Serbian sculpture.
