The Confraternity of Saint Margaret of Cortona and the works of subalpine painters in Senj, Rijeka and Pazin

Višnja Bralić ; Croatian Conservation Institute

Abstract

This paper sheds new light on patrons who spread the veneration of Saint Margaret of Cortona in Northern Adriatic Croatia as well as on religious customs which shaped and underlined 18th-century commissions of pictorial representations in Senj, Rijeka and Pazin showing Saint Margaret of Cortona Adoring the Crucifix. Unpublished painting from Rijeka is here for the first time attributed to Johann Michael Lichtenreiter. Analyses of pictorial, stylistic and iconographic characteristics of Antonio Paroli’s painting from Senj and that by Leopold Kecheisen from Pazin are supplemented with new data and insight.
