Sažetak
The purpose of this study is to indicate an under-researched subject
of our artistic heritage. It is a Gothic crucifi x, the oldest, from the Museum Collection of the Franciscan monastery on Visovac. The article describes in detail processional, patrol crucifi x of gilded silver plate and then, using analogies, associated with several similar crucifixes in Šibenik and Zadar area from the 14th century, especially those on Pašman, Dugi Otok, Sukošan, Olib...
The arms of the cross terminate with trefoils, Gothic trilobites. Christ’s crucified body is disproportionate: the body is increased so gaunt ribs come to the fore. Above Christ is - in the top medallion - St. Michael’s relief. Symbols of the Evangelists: the winged lion, the angel and the eagle are the rough surface.
The central part & the revers shows the fi gure of the Virgin and Child. In the top medallion winged bull is located - a symbol of the Evangelist Luke, and the other one showing a medallion of Adam out of the grave. It is evident that the relief obverse spread out and better executed than relief reverses. It is assumed that described Gothic crucifi x from the 14th century is made by a local craftsman.
