Sažetak
Three surviving contracts testify to the activity of Radmil Ratković as builder and decorator of residential apartment buildings in Šibenik. The first contract is dated June 5, 1458, and refers to the making of three
rectangular doors and three balconies for the shop owned by the nobleman Stjepan Tavilić. The second, dated April 21, 1481, concerns the making of one door and window for the house of the nobleman Ivan Vojnović. The third contract dated March 5, 1483, refers to the commission of a door to be placed at the head of the staircase of the house owned by Martin Bogafčić. Along with these contracts, several other documents also testify indirectly of Ratković’s activity, including some chiseled stone elements for the houses owned by the shipbuilder Luka Radelić, the dyer Matej Bogafčić, Mihovil Cvitanov, Juraj Dobroević and the lime-burner Andrija. These were rather modest commissions, and yet they indicate that – although much better known for their work on religious monuments, these outstanding master-craftsmen and builders from the circle of Juraj Dalmatinac (Giorgio da Sebenico) were also experts in building and furnishing residential housing, especially as stonemasons who enhanced the beauty and quality, value and modernity of the houses they worked on.
