An Attribution to Tiziano Aspetti in Dalmatia

Vincije B. Lupis ; Državni arhiv Dubrovnik

Abstract

By the method of comparison and with the help of recent Italian literature the author has attributed a silver processional crucifix from the Franciscan Monastery in Dubrovnik to the Venetian sculptor Tiziano Aspetti (Padua, ca. 1656 —Ve nice, 1607). Two processional crucifix from Dalmatia had been attributed to Tiziano Aspetti the Elder, those from Vrboska and Perast, and the author thinks that they should be ascribed to Tiziano Aspetti the Younger, although they come from two different Venetian workshops. The Venetian sculptor obviously produced models of figured reliefs for several goldsmith shops, and thus all three examples should be linked with the younger of the two artists. The authors points out the importance of the study of Renaissance bronzes, neglected in the research on the Renaissance at Croatian Coastland.
