Abstract

Autorica analiziraa obilježja arhitekture, ornamentike, polikromacije i skulpture oltara Bogorodice Zaštitnice u Gračišću i vrednuje njegovo mjesto među istovrsnim spomenicima u Istri. U dosadašnjoj se literaturi oltar datirao u razdoblje sredine 17. stoljeća. Tijekom nedavne stručne restauracije na predeli je otkrivena zapisana 1633. godina. Riječ je o dragocjenom otkriću budući da je to zasad najranija zapisana datacija na drvenom oltaru 17. stoljeća u Istri. U središnjoj niši donjeg dijela oltara nalazi se reljefna figura Bogorodice Zaštitnice. Uočen je niz sličnosti izmedu odjeće vjernika pod Bogorodičinim plaštom i istarske nošnje 17. stoljeća na temelju čega autorica zaključuje da je kipar prikazao konkretnu suvremenu nošnju Gračišća. Time je potkrijepljena ranije iznesena pretpostavka R. Ivančevića da su oltar i njegova skulptura izrađeni u samom Gračišću.<br />The article discusses the architectural, ornamental, polichromatic and sculptural characteristics of the altar of the Mother of Mercy in Gračišće and evaluates its place among the similar monuments in Istria. Hitherto the altar was dated in the mid-17th century. ln the course of recent reconstruction, it was discovered that the year 1633 is inscribed on its predella. This is a valuable discovery, this being the earliest known insribed date on a 17th century wooden altar in Istria. In the central niche of the lower part of the altar stands a relief figure of Madonna della Misericordia. A number of similarities has been detected between the clothing of the faithful gathered under Madonna's cloak and the Istrian costume of the 17th century which indicates that the sculptor showed the contemporary clothes of Gračišće of the time. This supports an earlier theory by Radovan Ivančević that both the altar and the sculpture were made in Gračišće itself.
