Sažetak
The so-called “Venetian-type” of the choir screen, embodied in the late fourteenth-century iconostasi of San Marco, has been recognised as part of the symbolic imagery of the political establishment in the Venetian newly acquired territories. The emulation of the San Marco model can be traced in a number of fifteenth- century churches both in Terraferma and Stato da mar, notably the cathedrals in the eastern Adriatic cities. This specific type of the choir screen, featuring a pergola crowned by figures of the apostles flanking the centrally placed crucifix, has been introduced to Venetian Dalmatia by highly positioned commissioners, both ecclesiastical prelates and lay representatives of Serenissima. The aim of the present paper is to shed light on the background of the commissioners as agents and executors of the described iconographic device. On the one hand, we shall scrutinise the related written sources in order to grasp the contemporary views on these symbolic practices, while on the other hand, shall try to recognise their possible parallels in the Ionian and eastern Mediterranean domains.
