Sažetak
The cults of Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Lady of Carmel belong to the most widespread Marian devotions in Dalmatia. The victory of the allied armada over the Turkish fleet in the Battle of Lepanto is considered to have been the beginning of the decline of Turkish power in the "occupied" Europe, and it coincides with the rise of the Catholic Church. In the paper the author follow its echo in the various sacral compositions depicting Christian rulers - participants of anti-Turkish alliance, led by Pope Pius V in Dalmatian painting. Portraits of allies were then painted on altarpieces of Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Lady of Carmel. The last examples of paintings depicting allies of the mentioned Holy League were painted after the Candian War when Mary was celebrated again as the protector of Christian countries. Altarpieces in Dalmatia commemorated both the subsequent anti-Turkish alliances and the short periods of peace between the Catholic world and the Turks. Since this is about the paintings of votive character, they offered not only thanksgiving to Mary for the achieved victories and peace, but a prayer addressed to her to "remove" the Turkish threat. Therefore, in Dalmatia the altarpieces of Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Lady of Carmel - as depictions of Our Lady of Victory - acquired the status of collective patron “Maria Ausiliatrice” (“Auxilium Christianorum”) not only of confraternities of Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Lady of Carmel and religious orders such as the Dominicans and the Franciscans (who promoted their veneration), but of the entire population as well. For all the images depicting allies of Pope Pius V in Dalmatian Dominican and Franciscan churches that commemorate the victory of Lepanto, we can conclude that their iconography indicates anti- Ottoman propaganda characteristic for the period between the end of the Cyprus war and the end of the 17th century.
