Sažetak
Paper presents a number of archival data related to grotesque painter and stucco master Ivan Gapić, known in late Roman Cinquecento as Giovanni da Cherso or Giovanni Schiavone. His career has been closely related to the circle of Taddeo and Federico Zuccari in whose botega Gapić may have received his elementary training. Working within closely interrelated artistic networks employed on large-scale decorations of mid- to late 16th century Rome, Gapić remained in close relation with Federico’s artistic circles, sharing several of his commissions, while even Vasari dedicated him few words of appreciation. Coming from the insular town of Cres (Cherso) in northern Adriatic, during whole his Roman career, Gapić was member of St. Jerome’s confraternity for which he also painted a (lost) figure of the patron. Paper will outline this forgotten Schiavone’s career within complex artistic networking of Roman Cinquecento, particularly related to position of associates within greater masters’ orbits. Paintings that should be attributed to Gapić indicate a style that expectedly comes out of Zuccaris’ models, while his stucco works reflect the iconographical and formal impact of Tridentine shift.
