(with Tanja Trška) The Artistic Patronage of the Confraternities of Schiavoni/Illyrians in Venice and Rome: Proto-national Identity and the Visual Arts

Acta historiae artis Slovenica, 2018

The shared origin of the members of these confraternities provides a platform to discuss and compare strategies of visual communication with the host society. It further affords the opportunity to examine how they differentiated themselves from other brotherhoods of Schiavoni/Illyrians in the competitive environments of Italian cosmopolitan and artistic centers. This article focuses on the two 16th-century painted programs related to Schiavoni/Illyrian confraternities in Venice and Rome, executed by Vittore Carpaccio and Giovanni Guerra with assistants, respectively, and offers a new interpretative strategy of proto-national identity to elucidate their messages.
