Sažetak
Due to its role in liturgy and the place it occupies in the church – the edge of the central nave, which makes it exposed to the eyes of the faithful – the pulpit is one of the most important items of a sacral building. This is the reason why a lot of attention was paid to its stylistic solution and its construction. After the project by architect Karl Rösner (the fi rst architect to supervise the construction of the Cathedral in Đakovo) had been rejected, the development of completely new projects was entrusted to the new leading architect Friedrich Schmidt. In the 1880’s Schmidt developed fi ve entirely different projects and several alternative projects for this part of the Cathedral services. His associate Herman Bollé, at the time in charge of buildings in Croatia, helped him develop the projects. Part of the projects included more Gothic and other parts more Romanesque elements. The fi rst projects anticipated two detached pulpits at both sides of the central nave, but they were rejected due to the fear of high costs. Although Schmidt’s earlier projects had predicted a rail which would connect the two pulpits and separate the space assigned for the faithful from the chancel, bishop Strossmayer rejected this solution because he wanted the whole church to be accessible to the faithful. The project fi nished in November, 1880 was fi nally implemented and its design relies on the one of the medieval pulpit by Giovanni Pisano in the Cathedral of Pisa. The rich sculptural program of the pulpit was made by sculptor Vatroslav Donegani, the main sculptor of the Cathedral of Đakovo in 1881. At the corners he created sculptures of the Church Fathers and the bas-reliefs with scenes from Christ’s life between them. The pulpit is not painted. Yet the different materials it has been made of provide rich colorist effect.
