| This small but engrossing collection is housed in the 15th-century Chapel of St Barbara (Crkvica svete Barbare), just uphill from the Cathedral. The building itself is a right little charmer, with a quirky assymetrical belfry holding a trio of bells, and a 24-hour clock gracing the façade. The statue of St Nicholas, also on the façade, is the work of prolific 15th-century stonemason Bonino of Milan. Most valuable of the works inside are a 15th-century polyptich by Blaž Jurjev of Trogir with Virgin and Child flanked by angels and saints; and a polyptich of the Virgin Mary with Saints - one of the few surviving pictures by local master Nikola Vladanov (active 1409-1440). It was probably ordered by one of Šibenik’s religious brotherhoods, which explains why there are a large crowd of realistically-portrayed citizens sheltering beneath the Virgin’s voluminous shawl. |
