Sažetak
The text presents a portrait and a drawing executed in 1841, representing Franceso
Carrara (1812-1854), a priest, archaeologist, ethnographer and historiographer from Split.
Both works were authored by the Austrian painter Josef Ziegler (1785-1852) during the last
weeks of Carrara’s sojourn in Vienna, where he studied at the Institute for Higher Education
of Clerics, Augustineum, under the auspices of the Viennese court. The portrait and the
drawing are seen as a testament to Carrara’s wavering between secular (historical, philological
and archaeological) concerns and priesthood. The works are also understood as indicative
of Carrara’s youthful ambitions which presupposed his desire to achieve social success in the Austrian capital before the upheavals in 1848. The portrait in landscape from a private collection in Split is dated by author to the spring or summer of 1841, as Carrara still hadn’t received the order from the Split bishop Godeassi to return to his homeland, and was eager to cast himself as a young man brimming with optimism. The drawing, on the other hand,
which is kept at the Split archaeological museum, was dated with precision to 2 September 1841, and it shows Carrara as a protegee of Augustineum reading in his monastery room a few
weeks before his return to Split.
