THE SACRED HERITAGE OF BLATO OF THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES

Autor donosi nove spoznaje o sakralnoj baštini Blata tijekom XIX. i XX. stoljeća. Arhivskim radom otkrio je ugovor o gradnji kapele sv. Vincence u Blatu, gdje se utvrdilo autorstvo uglednoga hrvatskoga baroknog graditelja Ignacija Macanovića. U ovom radu obradio je oltarnu palu lokalnog slikara Spasa Foretića. Na osnovu arhivskih istraživanja atribuirao je oltarnu palu sv. Josipa iz župne crkve u Blatu mletačkom slikaru iz XIX. stoljeća Giovanniju Battisti Carreru iz 1838. godine. Opisao je i oltarnu palu iz crkve sv. Vida u Blatu, djelo mletačke slikarice Antoniette Brandeis a osamdesetih godina XX. stoljeća, a najvjerojatnije se radi o donaciji splitskoga biskupa Marka Kalogjere. Reatribuirao je ophodno raspelo bratovštine sv. Vincence uglednom kotorskom zlataru Bogdanu Kaluđereviću s kraja XIX. stoljeća.The paper discusses new knowledge about the religious art heritage of Blato during the 19th and 20th centuries. Having recently discovered a contract for the construction of the Chapel of St Vincent, the author established that the author of the church was the distinguished Croatian Baroque master builder Ignacije Macanović. This paper also discusses the altarpiece of the local painter Spaso Foretić. On the basis of archival research, the altarpiece of St Joseph of the Parish Church in Blato is attributed to the 19th century Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Carrera, 1838. The altarpiece from the Church of St Vitus in Blato is described – the work of the Venetian woman painter Antonietta Brandeis of the 1980s, probably part of the donation of Bishop Marko Kalogjera. The processional crucifix of the Fraternity of St Vincent has been reattributed to the distinguished Kotor-based goldsmith Bogdan Kaluđerević, end of the 19th century
