Dalmatian Works by Bartolomeo Litterini

Radoslav Tomić ; Institut za povijest umjetnosti

Sažetak

Based on many years of research the author proposes a catalogue of works by a Venetian painter, Bartolomeo Litterini (1669-1748) made for and commissioned by Croatian patrons in Dalmatia. Litterini made as many as thirty four religious paintings for churches and monasteries of Dalmatia. They were mostly altar paintings or other kinds of works for church interiors, whereas few of them were made for private devotional purposes. Litterini left his paintings at Ugljan, Sutomišćica, and Kali on the island of Ugljan, and in Zadar and Split. His works are also found on the islands of Brač (Pučišća, Blaca, and Bol), and Hvar (Stari Grad, Dol). They are even more numerous on the territory of the former Republic of Dubrovnik. There are therteen paintings in Dubrovnik itself (the Cathedral, Franciscans, Jesuits, Karmen, and Domino), as well as in the Rector's Palace and in private collections. The author has recognized his works also in Cavtat, Ston, and Brsečine. The painting of the Assumption of the Virgin from the Karmen church was twice faithfully copied in the course of the 18 century (for churches on Mljet and Koločep), whereas the Annunciation from the Domino was made into an etching at the beginning of the 19 century, a witness of the painter's popularity in Dubrovnik. There is also a painting of a Presentation in the Temple by Litterini in Rijeka. The author analyzes Littorini's style, compares his Dalmatian works to Italian ones, defines chronology, identifies patrons and concludes that the catalogue of Litterini's Dalmatian works has an exceptional importance both for the artist's oeuvre, and for the Croatian artistic heritage.
