Sažetak
In the first part of the paper, on the basis of written sources from the monastery of St. Francis, it is concluded that in 1663, Venetian altar builder Antonio Peschiera erected the altar in the chapel of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the church of St. Francis in Zadar. It has been presumed that the new altar had been built in order for the silver relief of the Blessed Virgin – work from the second half of the 16th century, originating from Venetian goldsmith’s workshop – to be exhibited thereon. The second part of the paper offers an analysis of the contract on the erection of the altar of St. Benedict at the church of St. Chrysogonus of 1700, which is in safekeeping at the State Archives in Venice (Archivio di Stato di Venezia). The contract states that according to the wish of Cristofor Novati, prior of the monastery of St. Chrysogonus, with the approval from all the monks, it was decided to erect an altar in honour of St. Benedict and other saints of the Benedictine order. To this end, Zaccaria Gabrielli, steward of the monastery San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, was authorized to choose the design for the altar and to conclude the contract with Baldassare Garzotti. The document confirms earlier conclusions and provides new knowledge on this altar, the stone and marble types used, and the author Baldassare Garzotti himself. Though the said altars have not been preserved, the analyzed archive documents present a valuable tribute to the expertness regarding the builders of marble altars from the circle of Baldassare Longhena in Dalmatia. The third part of the paper offers an analysis of the newly discovered archive data, which have confirmed earlier attributions for three side altars erected 1732–1743 at the church of St. Francis in Zadar to Pietro Coste. It has furthermore been confirmed that the side altar of St. Peter Alcantara at the same church was in 1732 designed by Venetian altar builder Girolamo Girardi. Girardi made in Venice all the altar parts, which were subsequently put together at the church of St. Francis by Pietro Coste.
