A View from the South East. Works of the Santa Croce Workshop
The eastern cost of the Adriatic Sea, from Kopar in the north to Boka Kotorska in the south, is
characterised by numerous artworks from the Santa Croce workshop. In the 16th century,
two families of painters who bore the same name of Santa Croce were simultaneously active
in Venice, while the Eastern Adriatic was dominated by works of one branch of the said
family of painters whose artworks are the topic of this lecture. The founder of that workshop
was a painter who usually signed his works as HIERONYMO DA SANTA CROCE or
HIERONYMVS DE SANCTA CRVCE, who was turned by later art criticism into Girolamo da
Santa Croce (Santa Croce, Val Brembana, Bergamo 1480/1485 – Venice 1556). From the
1540's onward, he produced his paintings in collaboration with his son Francesco (Venice,
1516 – Venice, 1584). Their works have also been identified in the sacral premises of Apulia
and Abruzzi on the other side of the Adriatic coast. As opposed to a good reception of their
works in peripheral and provincial areas, in the wealthy and culturally and religiously
developed capital the number of their works was reduced to occasional commissions
predestined to be placed in less significant locations in La Serenissima. This lecture aims to to
draw attention to some specific features of their artworks such as typology, morphology and
iconography of their works from the perspective of the periphery as opposed to the works
from the capital.
