The paper is an survey of the recent findings on the lesser known works by the Venetian architect Giorgio Massari in the first half of the 18th century in the Gorizia County, Friuli, Istria and Dalmatia. It is a detailed presentation of the commissions for monasteries and convents of dominican, barnabite, servite and franciscan monks, and St. Clare sisters , and reflects uponthe manner in which the architect used and re-used the same architectual model for a certain order of the province or for the different orders and thus influenced the local sacred architecture.

The paper focuses on the confraternities founded at monastic churches in Ljubljana. The presentation of their art commissioning and artistic ambitions is merely fragmentary, as they were not only abolished by Josephian reforms but their material remains were also lost or destroyed due to the dissolution of their monasteries. Still, it is obvious from the objects preserved that confraternities commissioned quality artists. Graphic arts and paintings give us an insight into iconography typical for each individual confraternity, as they introduced a number of new types, particularly Marian, into the Slovenian art.

The paper presents the preserved sculptural elements from the church of the Cistercian monastery at Kostanjevica na Krki dated from around 1234 to the mid- 13th century, which constitute the richest group of Late Romanesque and Early Gothic architectural sculpture in Slovenia. The author believes that only a part of the preserved material can actually be compared with Hungary, and analyses possible sources in several other Central and Western European churches and monasteries, emphasising parallels within the art of the Cistercian order.
