The „Pieta“ from the Cemetery Chapel in Hvar

Mirjana Kolumbić Šćepanović

Abstract

The paper concerns a modestly sized “Pieta” painted on canvas, now in the Cathedral Collection (Episcopal Museum) in Hvar, but until recently in the chapel of the local town cemetery. Archival sources point to the fact that originally the painting stood in the Rectors' Palace of Hvar (destroyed in the late 19th c), in a chapel refurnished by the meritorious Rector Pietro Semitecolo in 1611. The painting is a valuable work of art, datable to the late Renaissance period (late 16th - early 17th c), and its original dimensions are also dealt with.
