Sažetak
The most valuable part of the church is its interior furnishing. The illusionist wall painting (1740–1743) is a highly accomplished work by the Paulist painter, Ivan Krstitelj Ranger, from Tyrol. The pulpit has been identified as the work of the Graz sculptor Joseph Schokotnigg. The same sculptor is ascribed the altars of St. Joseph and St. Barbara (1742–1743 ; gilded 1761), located alongside the triumphal arch of the church. The side chapel altars are more modest architecturally and hold works of the local sculptor, Ivan Adam Rosemberger, among others. There are also some works connected with J. Schokotnigg's oeuvre, and some by Philipp Jakob Straub. The sculptures of the Annunciation on the choir rail (1742.) have been identified as the work of Zagreb sculptor, Joseph Weinacht and the Pietà group placed in a niche on the church façade (end of the 17th century) is by the Varaždin sculptor, Ivan Jakob Altenbach. All of which gives insight into the broad range and quality of Baroque sculpture in Croatia – comprising works that range from those created by top Central European artists to the more modest works of local and domestic sculptors.
