Jasmina JERGOVSKI
Sažetak
This article presents till now unknown history of parish Novo Čiče. Moreover, author delivers history of construction and furnishing of two sacral buildings: parish church of St. John the Baptist and chapel of the Suffering Jesus. Furthermore, this article deals with
description of included art pieces, their dating, attribution and validation. Article embraces wide period of parish’s history, from its fi rst record in Statuta capituli Zagrabiensis from 1334, written by archdeacon John of Gorica, across parish memorial records from
the mid nineteen century, till 70s of the twentieth century. These aforementioned memorial records (Liber […] Memorabilium […] Čičem […] ab 1844 […]) witness culturally active community that constantly tried to adequately furnish and preserve ecclesiastical
property. For example, under the patronage of Erdödy family, and from 1871 under the patronage of Thurn and Taxis family, the chapel of Suffering Jesus was furnished with the main altar (1757) and side altars of St. Rocco and St. Joseph. At the same time, the
parish church of St. John the Baptist acquired side altars of St. Anthony and Madonna (around 1897) and main altar of St. John the Baptist (1902). The latter altar, as well as the chapel in Novo Čiće (1905) was made according to the plans of Hektor Eckhel, one
of the professors in crafts school in Zagreb. This investigation reviled names of some new and unknown master of arts, which requires further research. For example perish memorial records mention the name of Eduard Gerisch, who was curator in Gemäldegalerie der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna. In 1886 he copied Baptism of Christ of Guido Reni (1622/23, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna) and placed copy at the main altar of the parish church in Novo Čiče. On the other hand, derived data extend our understanding of artists already known in history of art, such as H. Eckhel, August Posilović and Lovro Sirnik. At the end, the main purpose of this article was to introduce sacral heritage
of parish Novo Čiče. By the same token, it is an echo of the constant appeal for necessary preservation of this valuable object.
