Andrija Buvina – Painter and Woodcarver, a Master Rooted in the Historical and Artistic Reality of the Split and Dalmatia of the 1200s

This text contributes new arguments to the understanding that Andreas Buvina was a powerful, original, and versatile master whose work represents the kind of art that the local Dalmatian scene could offer at the beginning of the 13th century, before the Romanesque sculpture of Split and Trogir was, a few decades later, renewed by fresh new impulses from Italy. Today, it is possible to offer even better explanations of the local influence in the shaping of Buvina's style, particularly after the recent discovery of the work of Buvina's contemporaries, the brothers Matheus and Aristodius, the sons of the Apulian Zorobabel, who was naturalised in Zadar. In particular, this text considers questions relating to the original position and function of the doors of the Split cathedral, the issue of polychromy (about which we can today speak with greater confidence) in relation to the relief sculpture that forms its base, and the question of the source of Buvina's ornamental repertoire.
