Mnoge sledi bratovščine sv. Mihaela v Mengšu pri nastanku poslikav Franca Jelovška

The paper, based on the material of the priestly confraternity of St Michael in Mengeš (especially on the list of its members), published in Zgodovinski zbornik [Historical Journal], supplement of Laibacher Dioecesanblatt, between 1892 and 1895, and on other primary sources or studies based on them, uncovers the connections between the members of the confraternity and its supporters with the works of the Mengeš born painter Franc Jelovšek (1700–1764). Moreover, it also emphasizes as a starting point the fact that at the time of Jelovšek’s formation, in 1722 to be precise, his father, Andrej Jelovšek, organist and sexton of Mengeš (spiritually) joined the confraternity. The data gathered reveal the names as well as family and other ties of the priestly members and secular supporters of the fraternity, who influenced the creation of a large part of Jelovšek’s Baroque creations, either as patrons or as (co) recommenders. Some of these creations have not been preserved and are known only indirectly.Prispevek na podlagi gradiva duhovniške bratovščine sv. Mihaela v Mengšu (še zlasti seznama članov), objavljenega v Zgodovinskem zborniku, Prilogi časopisa Laibacher Dioecesanblatt v letih 1892–1895, in drugih primarnih virov ali nanje oprtih študij odkriva povezave bratovščinskih članov in podpornikov z deli v Mengšu rojenega slikarja Franca Jelovška (1700–1764). Kot izhodišče je izpostavljeno dejstvo, da se je v času Jelovškove formacije, leta 1722, bratovščini (duhovno) pridružil njegov oče, mengeški organist in cerkovnik Andrej Jelovšek. Zbrani podatki razkrivajo imena ter sorodstvene in druge vezi tistih duhovniških članov in laiških podpornikov bratovščine, ki so kot naročniki ali (so)priporočitelji vplivali na nastanek velikega dela Jelovškovih baročnih stvaritev, med katerimi se nekatere niso ohranile in jih poznamo le posredno. Ob tem je treba upoštevati, da je k naročilom nemalo pripomogel Jelovškov sloves, kar velja zlasti za čas od srede tridesetih let 18. stoletja
