Abstract
A group of wood carvings characterized by specific typology and working of the draperies stand out among the seuipture produced in Northwestern Croatia in the first half of the 18th century. All these artifacts are kept in the churches of Franciscan monasteries within the Croatian-Carniolan Franciscan Province. This paper deals exclusively with the works kept in the Croatian monasteries. Here, as is recorded in the archives, four sculptor monks were active at this period, who with the help of Franciscan joiners and painters- gilders made new church furniture. On the basis of elementary biographical data of the Franciscan sculptors Dionisius Hoffer, Ivo Schweiger, Cass ian Lohn and Severin Aschpacher, a attempt has been made to attribute to each of these artists works found in the churches and monasteries in Trsat, Klanjec, Samobor, Kotari and Pazin.
