🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Cathedral of St. James in Šibenik (1431-1535), on the Dalmatian coast, bears witness to the great exchange of ideas in monumental art between northern Italy, Dalmatia, and Tuscany during the 15th and 16th centuries. The three architects who succeeded each other in building the cathedral—Francesco di Giacomo, Giorgio Mattei Dalmatius, and Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino—designed a structure built entirely of stone and employed unique architectural techniques in the cathedral’s vaults and domes. The cathedral’s form and decorative elements, such as the striking frieze featuring the faces of 71 statues of men, women, and children, also illustrate a successful fusion of Gothic and Renaissance art.
