Artistic activities in the parish of Konjice under parish priest Sebastian Glavinić de Glamoč

Abstract

Based on a document of 1690, found in the Styrian Provincial Archives in Graz, the article presents artistic activities in the parish of Konjice under parish priest Sebastian Glavinić (1669–1690). The list of accomplishments comprises nineteen churches that were renovated or obtained new furnishings or inventories during the said period; no fewer than ten had one or several new (golden) altars erected. The list provides a crucial source of information about the time to which only scarcely preserved memorial materials bear witness. Particularly noteworthy among these are the altar retables from Prihova, especially the high altar preserved in situ, which is one of the richest examples of golden altars in Slovenia. The article also briefly describes Glavinić’s artistic activities during the period in which he led the Diocese of Senj-Modruš (1690–1697).
