Krasanka Majer ; Hrvatski restauratorski zavod, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

St. Florian's votive monument at Legrad falls into the free sculpture group. It was made in 1735 and is situated in a public park, outside the settlement's center. When it was being sculptured the standard composition of a vertically accentuated column was used with the main sculpture being St. Florian to whom the monument was dedicated, and there are two lateral sculptures of the saints St. Joseph and St. John of Nepomuk, the basis of which were positioned on a developed pedestal. The monument bears characteristics of late baroque in spite of the relatively simple and slightly rustic construction and all this is in accordance with the period it had been made in. However, its certain elements together with the motifs used when forming the architectural parts gravitate towards late baroque classicism.
