Abstract
The paper provides a reconstruction of the oeuvre
of an unnamed provincial sculptor active throughout
the second quarter of the 18th century in the area
between Križevci and Podravina region around
Koprivnica, all the way to Pitomača and its surrounding
area. The master of buttoned sleeves, as I have
named him for ease of reading and future research, is a
representative of provincial Baroque with a significant
(for now) attributed oeuvre, and he worked in a wide
area that was a lively and demanding market during the
period of greatest activity of provincial Baroque sculptors.
His work is spatially and temporally close to that
of the master Stjepan Szever, with whom he created the
altar of the Holy Family in the Church of the Mother of
God of Koruška in Križevci. The comparative analysis
rounds off his oeuvre of fifteen altars and one pulpit.
