Summary[edit]
| Description |
Dreifaltigkeitskirche - Der Totentanz-Fresko des istrischen Malers Johannes aus Kastav (1490) www.lamortdanslart.com/danse/Slovenie/dd_slovenia.htm It is best known for its church with a Danse Macabre fresco. The church itsef is dedicated to The Holy Trinity and belongs to the Predloka Parish. It is a stone built church, typical of the area, and lies on a small hill above the village, inside a walled enclosure 8 metres high. The church was built in the late Romanesque tradition before 1480. The encampment wall, built in the late 15th and early 16th century, is an irregular rectangle with cylindrical towers in exposed corners. The frescos inside the church date to 1490 and are some of the best preserved in Slovenia. They were plastered over and whitewashed and were only re-discovered in 1949 and were carefully restored. The most famous is the 7 metre long sequence known as the Dance of Death on the south wall of the nave, representing people of all walks of life from kings and popes to beggars and babies being led by skeletons towards Death itself. Scenes from the Book of Genesis also decorate the nave, images of the Apostles are painted in niches in the apse, with other saints and prophets as well as a Passion series and the journey and adoration of the Magi. |
