Sažetak
The city of Trogir has preserved a relatively small number of marble antique spolia considering its important phase in Antiquity. However, different types of marbles, most of them spolia, have been incorporated in some later monuments. Baroque interventions in the early Renaissance chapel of the blessed John Orsini in the Cathedral of Trogir, represent an important example of marble reutilization, combined with imported marbles ordered for that occasion. The “baroquisation” of the chapel occurred in the 17th century, when it received the relics of the blessed John Orsini. On that occasion, the baroque altar (on the top of which is the Trecento chasse with the relics of the Blessed) assumed a central position in the chapel. The floor of the chapel was rearranged according to contemporary taste, and a marble fence was added at the entrance. The adored baroque polychromy was created by using different types of marbles. Historian Ivan Lučić (Iohannes Lucius) from Trogir was in charge of the acquisition of the marbles. In his book Memorie istoriche di Tragurio ora detto Trau, he presents important data about the acquisition, which illustrate the importance of the marbles in Trogir in that period. Certain marbles were taken from different monuments and churches in the city (column shafts from the church of St. Martin, one shaft from the statue of our Savior on the Cimatorij, marble plates from the Church of St. John the Baptist and the Church of the Holy Spirit, from the Cathedral etc.), while some were brought from the region (column shafts from the Church of St. Stephen “sub pinis” in Split, marbles from Salona etc.), and some were donated by eminent citizens. The identification of marbles of the baroque phase of the chapel represents the main purpose of this research. The authors will try, to the possible extent, to recognize the marbles from which the elements mentioned by Lučić were made.
