Short-lived Opera bella e buona: the 1564 Chancel Screen of the Church of St Roch in Dubrovnik

Dedicated to professor Igor Fisković, the paper discusses the lost chancel screen made for the church of St Roch in Dubrovnik in 1564. Its design is considered and its graphic reconstruction proposed on the basis of the data in two contracts stipulated between the officials of the lay confraternity of St Roch and Jacob de Spinis, a sculptor of French origin resident of Dubrovnik. Although completed and placed in its position in due time, the chancel screen of St Roch was soon to be removed. The author analyses the probable reasons for that and raises some broader issues relating to the enclosures in the minor churches of Dubrovnik.
