Abstract
The parish church at Vodice near Šibenik houses two altarpieces signed by the Venetian painter Eugenio Moretti Larese (1822 - 1874), recently restored at Split's Regional Institute for Monument Protection. The first one depicts the figure of Christ in the upper section; Sts. Stanislaw Kostka and Vincent the Martyr of Saragossa are shown in the lower part. The second altarpiece presents the Holy Family. The paintings are typical of the master in that they merge figural reminiscences of the late seventeenth century with the predominant Post-Classicist elements. Following a detailed analysis of these paintings is a list of works by the other Venetian painters from the late seventeenth and the eighteenth century in Dalmatia, which attests the continuity of artistic contact between Venice and the towns of our Dalmatian coast even after the fall of St. Mark's Republic (Vincenzo Pellegrini, Liberale Cozza, Teodoro Matteini, Natale Schiavone, Antonio Zona, Pompe Molmenti).
