»PAULUS DE SOLMONA« AND HIS SCULPTURES

Ivo Petricioli ; Zadar

Sažetak

The signature of the sculptor »Paulus de Sulmona« and the year 1392 are engraved in the adorned façade of the church at Stari Pag, lying 2 kilometres to the south of the town of Pag of to-day. Thanks to the data found in the archives of the notary public in Zadar, the sculptor’s activity can be followed from 1386 through 1389. He was commissioned to erect the sepulchral monument for the deceased archibishop of Zadar Nicholas de Matafaris. He then built the sanctuary of St. Machael’s church in Zadar, and was also active at the construction of St. Krševan and elsewhere in Zadar, while in 1387 he worked at Rogotovo near Biograd. By comparing the reliefs in the façade of the church of St. Michael in Zadar with the relief on the preserved part of the Matafaris’ sepulchral monument, the author of the article attempts to define the opus of that Gothic sculptor of middling quality. The author furher pays attention to two sculptures located in the neighbourhood of Biograd, i. e. the relief of the Madonna at Turanj and the portal of the St. Cosma and Damian Church at Ćokovac near Tkon (on the Pašman Island), which were created during the sculptor’s activity, but which are difficult to be attributed to him since they lack decisive elements.
