Sažetak
This paper focuses on the dome of the Early Christian chapel of saint Prosdocimus, in the church of Saint Justine, Padua. The radial iconography of the Ascension of Christ depicted during the middle of the 16th century is considered a copy of the lost mosaic, realized in the early 6th century, using as a model the dome of the neonian baptistery, in Ravenna, or other eastern similar layouts (Saint George and Saint Sophia in Thessaloniki). Today it is possible to reconsider this artistic transfer. In fact the modern frescoes are connected with the artistic renovatio of the martyrial space wanted by the abbot of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Justine, during the years of the Council of Trent (1545-63). There is another reason which should be considered about the presence of the mosaic with the Apostles in the Early Christian dome. In fact a literary source of 1619 testifies that the Apostles were “insculpti”, which means “done in relief”. The archaeometrical analysis realized on a piece of white and fine mortar has demonstrated the presence of stucco in the chapel.
