- Abstract
The article examines the artworks and architecture of the Ragusan chapel in Dominican church in Genua, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Saint Blaise, commissioned and maintained by Ragusan merchants and consuls in the Ligurian port. The analysis is based on known documents from Dominican convent archive in Genua and focuses on elements of particular Ragusan identity expressed in visual terms. Moreover, newly discovered archival documents from the Genua and Dubrovnik state archives, enable a better understanding of diplomatic relations between the two republics, therefore shedding new light on the role of the Ragusan "national" chapel in Genua.
