The author puts the question about connection between the historical circumstances in which the picture arose and its theme.Analysing the image the author emphasises its iconographic details (Madonna with the protective cloak /Mater misericoriae/,St. Sebastian, St. Louis of Toulouse, fraternity members kneeling down,surrounding land-
scape),together with historical circumstances that in fluenced the painter.In the conclusion author proposes that the image was ordered by Janko Alberti,nobleman of Split and anti-Ottoman warrior. She also suggests that by this picture Alberti wanted to request Madonna ’s intervention against plague and Ottoman threat.
