Abstract

ln this study the author suggests a reconstruction of the artistic personality ol the wood sculptor Urban of Bavaria "de Surgge". who had worked in Dalmatia in the first half of the 17c, while the archives mention his presence in Lopud in 1636, on the island of Lastovo in 1637, in Kotor in 1640 and 1641, and on the island of Hvar 1645. Employing a number of artistic analogies and archive materials, K. Prijatelj proposes the hypothesis about Urban as a likely author of the polychrome wood predella reliefs and the figures of the saints surrounding the central composition of the Ascension of Our Lady on the high altar of Gospa od Šunja on Lopud, of the parish church altar in Jelsa with Our Lady with SS Nicholas and Rocco (it is assumed that its original location was in the Dominican church of St. Mark in Hvar), and of the altar in the chapel of St. Rocco at Vrboska, on the island of Hvar, with the tigures of SS Rocco, Fabian and Sebastian. The author studies the stylistic traits shared by these works and points out the Nordic Component most obvious in the faces of his figures.
