Sažetak
For the first time 11 decorative paintings of uneven quality are being presented. They were acquired by Bishop Strossmayer in Venice in 1869 (through painter Ivan Simonetti) as works of Andrija Medulić (1500 - 1563). The author believes the series with allegorical figures to have been performed by the mediocre painter and epigone of Central Italian »maniera grande« Battista Franco (1498 - 1561) and his assistants. The study attributes two more paintings from Dalmatia to the same author (Resurrection in Hvar and Flogging in Zadar). They were probably painted c. 1551 in Urbino, while the series from the Strossmayer Gallery of Zagreb must have been performed in the author's highly prolific Venetian phase and completed c. 1556 - 1560. In terms of the artist's general appraisal, the author does not consider this series of paintings to be of great significance, its only interesting aspect being the iconography of some allegorical scenes.
