- Abstract
The decoration of the sala superiore of the Scuola dei SS. Giorgio e Trifone, executed throughout the final decades of the 16th and the first half of the 17th century, coincided with a period of economic prosperity of the Dalmatian confraternity. The decorative programme of the sala superiore, considered in the light of the scuola's status of a "small" confraternity (scuola piccola), reflects not only collective aspirations of the Dalmatian community within the vibrant Venetian society, but also individual desires of its members to leave a permanent mark in the history of their confraternity. The subject matter of canvases adorning the sala superiore reveal an eagerness to provide an unambiguous visual connection with the confraternity members' Dalmatian origin, but their stylistic features remain strongly linked to the Venetian painterly tradition of the 16th and early 17th century.
