Retables on the Croatian Island Lopud

14 The retables of the church Gospa od Šunja PIEDELLI CONDIDIT SACELLUM MDXXVII” (To you, St Roch, Thomas Pidelli erected this chapel in 1527). The right-hand chapel was commissioned by Bishop Brautić as his funerary chapel. His last will, drawn up in 1631, stated that the chapel should be built in the likeness of the St Roch Chapel opposite and contain both tomb and the retable.15 The retable, bearing the discreetly placed date 1637, is called the Annunciation retable because of the altarpiece depicting the Annunciation of Mary with saints (Fig. 10, 11). These two retables were restored as part of the ICWL programme from 2002 to 2017 and will be presented here. Fig. 8: Holy Cross retable, before treatment Fig. 9: Retable after treatment
