Abstract
The relief of the Baptism of Christ above the entrance to the Baptistry (1467) of the Trogir Cathedral is the largest Renaissance relief in Dalmatia, Through the comparative analysis of the composition, spatial relations of figures, typology of angels and the perspective of landscape with the »low« river and two towns autor states that this work must have been inspired by the invention of Piero della Francesca in his painting Baptism of Christ (London), For its classical composition and applied perspective Trogir relief has more Renaissance characteristics not only compared to contemporary (L. Dobričević) or even later painting of Baptism in Dalmatia (M. Hamzić, 1506) but also to some later Renaissance reliefs in Italy (G. Micelli). Rejecting the hypotesis that
the outstanding features of the Trogir relief could be explaned by the influence of Nicolas Florentin (proposed by Lj. Karaman and others) or George Dalmatian (A. M. Schulz) author states that actual attribution of the Trogir Baptism to Aleši, since it is better than most of his works, remains uncertain.
