The Cathedral of St James in Šibenik (1431-1535), on the Dalmatian coast
(Croatia), bears witness to the considerable exchanges in the field of
monumental arts between Northern Italy, Dalmatia and Tuscany in the 15th and
16th centuries. The form and the decorative elements of the Cathedral, such
as a remarkable frieze decorated with about 70 sculptured faces of men,
women, and children, also illustrate the successful fusion of Gothic and
Renaissance art. Cathedral of St. James in Sibenik" was added to Unesco's World Heritage List in 2000. |
