Sažetak
The Academy Church of St. Catherine in Zagreb was the first religious Jesuit building in Croatia. The design has an international character: the Early Baroque spatial arrangement derived from a distinctive south German hall-type of church with internal buttresses and side chapels on which, at the time, the master builder, Hans Alberthal elaborated. Stucco floral ornamentation and figurative scenes depict the life of the patron saint and saints to which the side chapels were dedicated between 1713 and 1726. The stuccowork, by the Italian master Anton Joseph Quadrio, was constructed between 1713 and 1721, and an anonymous Italian master between 1724 and 1726. With this exquisite work, St. Catherine's reached the ideal of bel composto, the characteristic Baroque unity of architecture, sculpture and painting.
