Abstract

The paper discusses two paintings from Dubrovnik, both representing scenes from the life of St Bernard from Clairvaux, preserved in the church of St Joseph and in the eastern sacristy of the church of St Blaise respectively. The author analyses specific iconographic themes of the two paintings – Amplexus Bernardi and Lactatio Bernardi, and interprets both works as reflections of the activity of Giovanni Battista Gaulli known as il Baciccio (Genova, 1639 – Rome, 1709).
