On a small Croatian island, a valuable 16th-century crucifix by a famous Venetian craftsman has been returned

The article reports on the restoration and return of two significant artistic artifacts to the Church of Saint Mary in Žirje, Croatia. These include an original frame of the 'Madonna with Child' painting, dated to the second half of the 15th century, and a Renaissance-era cloth panel from the early 16th century, created by the Venetian master Paolo Campi. The Žirje Bishopric announced the return of these items after years of meticulous restoration work. Additionally, a depiction of the 'Madonna with Child' was unveiled in 2020 after the removal of a Baroque frame from the main altar. According to Father Oleg Petrović, the painting itself was created in the 19th century based on an older prototype, while the original frame originates from the second half of the 15th century. The restored artwork has been reinstalled beneath a silver frame from the late 18th century.
