Abstract

Based on the former opinions on the sculptures of Saint John and Saint Paul, which were located on the altar of Saint Roch Chapel in Križevci and are currently kept in the warehouse of the City Museum of Križevci, this paper discusses the validity of the claim that their author is a provincial sculptor Stjepan Szever from Križevci. After comparing those sculptures with the sculptures of those two saints that are located at the altar of the Saint Florian’s Chapel, Stjepan Szever is suggested as the author of the Saint Florian’s Chapel’s altar, which had not been detected before. This paper reconstructs Szever’s activity in Križevci for Križevci, which leads to the conclusion that the sculptor was much more active in Križevci than it was previously believed.
