Između Kraljevice i Raba. O majstoru Iliji i nepoznatoj kvarnerskoj radionici iz druge polovice 15. stoljeća
Between Kraljevica and Rab. About the Craftsman Ilija and the Unknown Kvarner Workshop from the Second Half of the 15th Century

Summary/Abstract: The coats of arms of the patrician families were embedded as spolia in the Villa Antoinette, also known as Maharzeva vila in the town of Rab. One of the slabs on which the coats of arms are carved bears the signature of the master craftsman Ilija. After a short introduction through the attribution of coats of arms to certain families, other known works signed by master craftsman Ilija are listed. These are stone slabs in the bell tower of St John the Evangelist on the island of Rab and the Church of St Nicholas in Kraljevica. In conclusion, the possible places where the coats of arms could have originally stood are considered. It is pondered upon exactly what Ilija did at the Church of St John the Evangelist with his associate craftsman Marko, and whether there is the possibility that Marko and Ilija worked together on the church in Kraljevica. The dates of their signed works are given and the thesis is presented about the existence of a Kvarner workshop whose members were master craftsmen Ilija and Marko, masons and builders, and which operated in the wider area of Kvarner.
