Abstract (croatian)

S heraldičkoga, kulturnopovijesnoga i povijesnoumjetničkoga motrišta u radu se
obrađuju dvije reljefne ploče u veži nekadašnjega kaštela u Senju (Ožegovićianum).
Obje ploče sadrže reljefne prikaze parova puttâ koji podržavaju lisnate vijence
u funkciji figuralnih okvira heraldičkoga sadržaja. Na lijevoj ploči to je krunom
nadvišen grb napuljske aragonske dinastije, a na desnoj složenija kompozicija koja
predstavlja zemlje pod vlašću ugarsko-hrvatskoga kralja Matijaša Korvina. Senjske
je ploče, stoga, moguće datirati u šire vremensko razdoblje omeđeno vjenčanjem
Matijaša Korvina i Beatrice Aragonske 1476, te vladarevom smrću 1490. godine.
Uz tzv. Drugi osobni pečat Matijaša Korvina koji je poslužio kao neposredni uzor
heraldičke kompozicije desne ploče, komparativna analiza senjskih reljefa (osobito
poveznice sa suvremenim sitnoslikarskim rješenjima) otkriva pritom njihovo mjesto
u širem kontekstu panonske renesanse svjedočeći o važnosti Senja u političkoj, ali i
umjetničkoj topografiji onovremenoga Ugarsko-Hrvatskoga Kraljevstva.

Abstract (english)

The paper discusses heraldic, cultural and art-historical aspects of two relief
stone plaques from the former castle (Ožegovićianum) in Senj. Both plaques contain pairs of putti supporting leaf wreaths that surround specific heraldic representations. On the left panel it is the crowned coat of arms of the Neapolitan Aragon
dynasty, recognizable by the characteristic alternation of fields with horizontal
and vertical beams, stylized fleur-de-lis and multiple Jerusalem crosses. The more
complex composition on the right plaque represents the Croatian-Hungarian lands
under the rule of king Matthias Corvinus (Cluj-Napoca / Koloszvár, 1443. – Vienna, 1490; ruling: 1458-1490): its central place is occupied by a shield with four
horizontal beams, surmounted by the royal crown and surrounded by six smaller
coats of arms of Hungary (double cross); Dalmatia and Croatia (three crowned
leopard heads); Beszterce (Bistriţa) County or the Bohemia (lion); the Hunyadi
family (raven); Bulgaria or Slavonia (dog); and Galicia or Bosnia (crown). The
arrangement and heraldic content of the coats of arms is identical to that of the
so-called Second privy seal of Matthias Corvinus, of which an imprint in red wax
is still kept in the City Museum in Senj. Given the above, the first coat of arms
can be associated with Corvinus’ second wife, the Neapolitan princess Beatrice
of Aragon (Naples, 1457-1508), whom the Hungarian-Croatian ruler married in
1476. This event also provides a firm terminus post quem for the Senj plaques,
while their upper time limit is being determined by the Corvinus’ death in 1490.
A comparative analysis of the Senj plaques (especially links with contemporary
examples found in illuminated manuscripts) reveals their place in the context of
the Pannonian Renaissance, testifying to the importance of Senj in the political and
artistic topography of the Hungarian-Croatian Kingdom in the late 15th century.
