An Unknown Youthful Work of Tripun Bokanić /?/ in Stari Grad
Joško Kovačić
Abstract
The paper publishes a hitherto unknown short inscription on the baptistery in Stari Grad (island of Hvar, Croatia), sculpted in the year 1592, originally in the old parish church of St. Mary's/St. John's, and from the 18th c. in the new parish church of the town, that of St. Stephen the Pope's. The initials, as well as the stylistic analysis of the putto faces on the baptistery, suggest Tripun Bokanić (Pučišća, island of Brač, 1575 - Trogir, 1609) as the author. Bokanić was probably the most outstanding local architect in Dalmatia around the year 1600, as well as a sculptor of a discreet quality. The paper lists his proved and supposed works in Hvar, in Trogir and in Zadar, with a bibliography.
