| description | The paper discusses the structure and carved decoration of the restored
marble sanctuary screen from the island of Koločep near Dubrovnik. Based on
the early medieval history of present-day southern Dalmatia and the
fragmentary inscription commemorating a queen as the donor of the screen, it
may be concluded that she was one of the Serbian Doclean (Duklja) queens
from the second half of the eleventh century. The inscription is the only
evidence that the kings of Dioclea ruled over the Elaphite islands. The
carved decoration is typical of the Middle Byzantine period (9th-12th
century), with some regional traits. The only exceptions are the figures of
putti. They can be associated with Romanesque architectural sculpture in
southern Italy created in the late eleventh century, after the Norman
conquest of this region. The author puts forward the hypothesis that the
donor was Queen Jaquinta, wife of King Bodin (1081-1101), who was a Norman
woman from Bari. |
