Sažetak
Architecture, as a medium of representation, has always been one of the most expressive ways of conveying a commissioner’s power. A commissioner is not a person who passively accepts the architect’s idea, but actively participates in the realisation of the building they finance. The aim of this paper is to explore the commissions of Count Krsto II Oršić Slavetićki (1718–1782) in relation to residential architecture, i.e., residential architecture will be observed as a medium of personal and family representation. The paper will not list Oršić’s every commission and purchase of residential buildings, nor will they be listed chronologically. Instead, each of the selected buildings, some of which located in the countryside, with others in urban areas, will be analysed as a separate case study. We will try to identify analogies in the spatial and decorative design of the buildings and study Oršić’s role in the final realisation of the buildings he commissioned. The analogies, a result of the commissioner’s wishes, are revealed in the spatial organisation of the architectural complexes, layout organisation of the interior, and in the repertoire of decorative motifs on the works of decorative arts. It is interesting to note that Oršić’s son Adam (1748–1820) described in his memoirs the construction and significance of several buildings covered in this paper.
