Sažetak
The marble high altar in the Franciscan church of the Friars Minor in Dubrovnik is one of the most important examples of Baroque altar design in Croatia. Built in 1712/13 by the masters Celio and Giovanni Toschini, the altar has not been analysed in terms of its commissioner, its specific typology, or its distinct scenographic placement within the church. It was constructed thanks to the efforts of Dubrovnik’s Franciscan Francesco Caffarelli, who returned to his homeland in 1711 after serving in the monastery of San Francesco ad Alto in Ancona. During his stay there, the Toschini brothers had built the high altar in 1706/07 to frame Titian’s famous Pala Gozzi, which was relocated in the 19th century to the church of San Domenico in Ancona. This altar served as the model for the one in Dubrovnik. In the second part of this paper, a small canvas depicting the Pietà, from a private collection, is attributed to the painter Antonio Bellucci, as it can be identified as either a preparatory study or a memory piece for Belucci’s work with the same subject, completed shortly before 1694 for the altar of Jakob Schell von Schellenburg in the former Franciscan church in Ljubljana. Lastly, the terracotta statue of St Gregory the Pope in the Musei Civici in Treviso is attributed to the sculptor Giuseppe Maria Mazza. This piece is identified as the clay model paid for in 1705, and it served as the model for the bronze statue of the same figure on the high altar of the basilica of Il Redentore in Venice.
