Bishop Vincenzo Arrigoni (1599-1626) and Some New Insights Concerning the Altarpiece by Filippo Zaniberti (1585-1636) in the Šibenik Cathedral of Saint James

The early period of the post-Tridentine renewal in the Šibenik Diocese is marked by Bishop Vincenzo Arrigoni’s (1599-1626) commissions and donations. The altarpiece in the Šibenik cathedral executed by Filippo Zanberti (1585-1636) has been considered one of the many works commissioned by Arrigoni in the first decades of the 17th century. The fact that both Zaniberti and Arrigoni were originally from Brescia contributed to this false conclusion. However, the newly found will of Lucija Ivetić dating from 1626 and the archival data from 1635 describing the acquisition of the altarpiece in Venice provide new insights concerning the persons who commissioned the altarpiece from Zaniberti and the time of its execution.
