Sažetak

The author comments on the habit of the bishops of Zagreb to mark their property with a specific sign, usually their name or the figure of their heavenly protectors whose name they carry. She gives numerous exarnples of this practice throughout the centuries. In the wall painting in the sacristy of the Cathedral in Zagreb the central place is taken by the figure of a man in Roman or Greek clothing with a papyrus scroll in his hand. As he is standing between Saint Dominic (left) and Saint Francis (right), the author suggests that this is a representation of Saint Timotheus, a disciple of Saint Paul's, chosen by the Bishop of Zagreb Timotheus (1263-1287), builder of the sacristy and eastern part of the cathedral (begun in 1275). Before his arrival in Zagreb Bishop Timotheus stayed at several papal residences in the cities of central Italy. Along with the style and texture of the painting analized by the author, this is one more reason why she considers it very probable that this fresco was painted by an Italian artist of the third quarter of the thirteenth century.
