Abstract
Vicko Caenazzo was active in Korčula in the second half of the 19th century, a goldsmith originally from Zadar where he was probably trained. He then lived in Ston for a time, and in the 1860s he arrived in Korčula. Several of his pieces have been preserved: silver ornaments for a sculpture of St. Roch for the brotherhood of the same name in Korčula in 1857, a candlebra for the All Saints' Church done in 1863, a flask for wine and water from 1865, and an asperges from 1866. The master's initials or his stamp are engraved in his work, and documentation has been discovered referring to orders and payment for these commissions. The technical execution of the metalwork in silver is on a high level, while the quality of the artistic excellence in somewhat less.
