Sažetak
At the beginning of the 18th century, Urbano Fenzi and Lorenzo Fondra, two high-ranking officials in the city of Šibenik, commissioned two identical marble altars for the church of St. Lawrence. They were both members of prominent noble families and the members of their households and their relatives played notable roles in military, political, social and cultural history of Šibenik during the second half of the 17th and throughout the entire 18th century. The altars Fenzi and Fondra ordered for the church of St. Lawrence have not been yet researched, contextualized or published. Although their original appearance was altered due to the change of their dedications at the end of the 19th century, it is safe to assume that one work was modelled in order to resemble the other. The paper intends to draw conclusions about the similarities and diffe- rences in self- promotion strategies of Šibenik’s social elite members. Starting from the analysis of the donors’ biographical data and the social context in which they moved at the beginning of the 18th century, as well as the dedicatory inscriptions on the altars, an attempt to detect the motives for such commissions will be made. Considering the fact that both donors belonged to the immigrant families that had a prominent social standing in the then Šibenik, an attempt to illuminate their relations and possible contacts with sculptors, workshops and painters from Venice and other centres situated along the Adriatic coast will be made.
