L’arcaismo nell’architettura religiosa del Trecento a Dubrovnik tra committenza comunale e pratiche edilizie

Analysing the context of the 1348 commission for the Dubrovnik civic patron’s church, the paper argues that the choice of the architectural model for this major communal project depended on its symbolic exigencies articulated through the commissioner’s directions, rather than on the ingenuity of its protomasters, whose contribution was limited to certain practical aspects of construction. The relation between the commissioner, the masters and the architectural model in the case of the church of San Biagio in Dubrovnik was defined by the request for formal emulation of the cathedral church based on the intention for the hierarchical equalization. The comparative study of the two Ragusan Romanesque churches, constructed with a two-centuries distance, demonstrates that the essence of the architectural emulation was contained in the choice of the archaic language with a strong symbolic quality.
