Sažetak

Among the baroque sculptures of Mary with Child to be found in northern Croatia, a series of sculptures of the Madonna in a bell-shaped cloak are separated out for study, since they are interesting in terms of the unusual composition and abundance of specific ornamental elements and iconographically as well. These are replicas of what were often medieval sculptures of Mary from famous shrines and pilgrimages in Croatia and beyond. Baroque sculptors of these sculptures were occasionally inspired by contemporary graphics, and they portray her dressed in clothing of textile, crowned and adorned with brilliant jewelry and votive gifts, which they imitated according to their own possibilities in wood or stone. The iconographic connection between the original and the replica can not always be confirmed with certainty, and often identification of such would be impossible. Most often these are replicas of Mary of Bistrica, especially with very diffuse processional sculptures,
or replicas of Mary of Lauretaine, the most interesting examples of which are those sculptures which imitate the dark incarnadine of the original from Loreto.
