A View from the South East. Works of the Santa Croce Workshop

The phenomenon of an intense importation of artworks from painting workshops of the Venetian capital, which is present along both coasts of the Adriatic sea, has been long recognised in scientific periodicals. Already in the 14th century, churches in this area have been furnished with works of Paolo Veneziano, Jacobello del Fiore, members of the Vivarini family, and others. However, not only the works of the leading Venetian painting workshops were in strong demand in the Adriatic market. The eastern cost of the Adriatic Sea, from Kopar in the north to Boka Kotorska in the south, is characterised by numerous artworks from the Santa Croce workshop. Their works have also been identified in the sacral premises of Apulia and Abruzzi on the other side of the Adriatic coast. As opposed to a good reception of their works in peripheral and provincial areas, in the wealthy and culturally and religiously developed capital the number of their works was reduced to occasional commissions predestined to be placed in less significant locations in La Serenissima. This paper shall provide an analysis of certain particularities of their artworks from the perspective of the periphery as opposed to the works from the capital, and attribute a new artwork to their workshop.
