Abstract
The large silver shrine on the main altar of St. Simeon's church in Zadar, executed in 1380 by Zadar goldsmith Francis of Milan in the repoussé technique, has not been until recently adequately evaluated from the viewpoint of art-history. The author analyses all compositions with figures linking them to the most advanced artistic realisations in Italian painting of the time, i. e. the paintings by Giotto and his followers, and affirms that Francis of Milan was acquainted with them. His oeuvre was a means by which Giotto's innovations in painting indirectly reached Zadar.
