Abstract

The painting »St. Michael with St. Benedict and John the Baptist« which used to stand on the main altar in the destroyed church of St Michael's of the Benedictine monastery in Trogir is published. The altarpiece is attributed to the painter Matej Ponzoni-Pončaun (Venice 1583 - between 1663 and 1675), dated in the period when the artist was in Dalmatia (the 1640s) and compared to his other works in Trogir.
The article discusses Pončaun's portraits of Pope Paul V Borghese and Urban VIII Barberini in the Split Cathedral and suggests that they may have both been painted from the prints of his subjects. The portrait of Pope Urban VIII Ponzoni may have used the copy of the Pope's portrait which was made between 1624. and 1627. by Pietro da Cortona (Rome, Pinacoteca Capitolina).
