Sažetak
The paper presents the well-known yet thus far insufficiently analysed silver altarpiece in the Krk cathedral. This is a silver and gilded altarpiece which was made in 1477 by the master craftsman Paulus Koler for the cathedral’s high altar, where it was held until the beginning of the 19th century. The altarpiece was a donation, indeed bequeathed in his will by Duke Ivan VII (?, 1434 – Zákány, 1486) although already made during the duke’s lifetime, and it constitutes one of the rare documented donations of liturgical furnishings by one of the members of the Frankopan family that remains preserved to this day. The altarpiece was rendered in two rows with a series of images of saints, and it was protected by the painted pala feriale, certainly modelled after the far better known one held in the doge’s chapel and and the one in the Venetian cathedral. Particular attention is accorded to a thus far unpublished analysis of the iconographic program which was considered primarily in the context of complex familial relations, in whose realization the Krk bishop, Nikola III (1457-1484), a Franciscan, probably played a key role.
