Sažetak
The topic of the article is the famous painting of Hvar, „Last Supper“, mysterious atmosphfere of its origin and authorship, the circumstances of commissioning the painting and a probable commissioner. Tracing the line of earlier attributions of the painting to Jacopo Negretti known as Palma the Younger (Venice, 1548.-1628.) and his school, or Matteo Ponzoni (Venice, 1583.-1663.), both attributions are considered to be correct, as painting is the work of Palma the Younger and his associate and student, Matteo Ponzoni.
Describing the two young men, dressed in red by the table of the eucharistya, wearing specific red caps, worn by Croatian warriors called “haramias”, at the end of the 16th century, together with a wounded young man lying next to the table, it is assumed that the painting commemorates the Croatian Army's struggle against the Turks, possible great victory Croatian infantry won in the battle near the city of Sisak in 1593. Following this idea, it is concluded, that such a valuable painting could indeed be a gift of the gratitude to the Franciscan monastery, for the reception and care of the wounded, and not from the sick, and needy of care, painter, according to a legend of the origins of the painting, and that was donated by the Austrian court, with which Palma the Younger maintained artistic connection.
