DOMINICANS IN THE CROATIAN LANDS AND THE ICONOGRAPHY AFTER THE COUNCIL OF TRENT (1545-1563)
Sanja CVETNIĆ
Sažetak
The Order of Preachers (Lat. Ordo Prædicatorum) was an important protagonist in the Catholic Reformation after the Council of Trent. Its contribution to the Croatia’s Catholic renewal is possible to trace not only in Dominican theological writings or archive documents,
but also in many works of art in Dominican churches, convents and museum collections in them. The founder of the Dominicans, St. Dominic de Guzmán, as well as other Medieval saints, including saint Dominicans – St. Peter the Martyr, St. Thomas Aquinus, St. Cathrin of Siena, St. Vincent Ferrier – had been transformed. Instead as serious and distant figures – as they appear on the Gothic polyptichs or sculptures – they become very engaged religious teachers, showing to the believers how to pray rosary, how to venerate
Holly Name of Jesus or Virgin Mary. Together with new contributions to the choir of the Dominican saints – St. Antonino Pierozzi, bishop of Firenze, St. Pio V., dominican pope, St. St. Raymond of Pennaforte, St. Hyacinth from Kraków, Blessed Margaret of Savoy, St. Agnes of Montepulciano... – Dominicans created lively visual predicament on the altars of their churches, on the convent walls, on the pulpits. Word and image united, they promote new forms of devotion and new ideals of sanctity, as well as reaffirm Catholic identity
through confirmation of the authority of the pope, sacraments, particularly that of the Holy Orders, and the Eucharist, i.e. the mystery of transubstantiation (Lat. transubstantiatio).
