Janez Ernest II. grof Herberstein in naročila opreme za župnijsko cerkev sv. Lenarta v Slovenskih goricah

Based on archival data from parish ledgers and their enclosed documents, the paper analyses the hitherto un- known commissions and patronage of Johann Ernst II Count Herberstein (1709–1780) in the St Leonard parish in Slovenske gorice in the second half of the 18th century. New attributions made based on archival data provide context to his previously known commissions, enabling a comparison with commissions of residential furnishings and providing a departing point for their further analyses. Herberstein commissioned church furnishings from privileged artists from the Styrian capital of Graz: sculptor Johannes Piringer (1709–1788), and painters Johann Baptist Anton Raunacher (1729–1771) and Anton Jantl (1723–1805), all of whom had participated in the renovations of residences of his relative Carl Leopold Count Herberstein-Pusterwald (1712–1789) and his wife, Maria Eleonora, nee Princess of Eggenberg.Prispevek na podlagi temeljite analize računskih knjig župnije Lenart v Slovenskih goricah in njihovih prilog obravnava naročila opreme, ki jo je Janez Ernest II. grof Herberstein (1709–1780) v drugi polovici 18. stoletja pridobil za lenarško župnijsko cerkev. Vrsta zanesljivih novih atribucij in datacij predstavlja temelj nadaljnjemu raziskovanju grofovih naročil v njegovih rezidencah. Herberstein je opremo naročal pri privilegiranih umetnikih iz deželne prestolnice, pri kiparju Johannesu Piringerju (1709–1788) ter slikarjih Johannu Baptistu Antonu Raunacherju (1729–1771) in Antonu Jantlu (1723–1805). Vsi omenjeni umetniki so sodelovali pri prenovah v dvorcu Eggenberg in graški palači, rezidencah Karla Leopolda grofa Herbersteina in njegove žene Marije Eleonore, roj. kneginje Eggenberg
