Franz Ignaz Count of Inzaghi, Ptuj Parish Archpriest and Dean, and the Veneration of St Victorinus, First Bishop of Poetovio Known by Name

Abstract

Franc Ignac grof Inzaghi (1691–1768) je bil nadžupnik in dekan ptujske župnijske cerkve sv. Jurija od leta 1731 do smrti. Članek želi osvežiti védenje o grofovem pri spevku k videzu in opremi cerkve, opozarja pa tudi na Inzaghijevo prizadevanje, da bi pridobil papeževo dovo- ljenje za češčenje sv. Viktorina, prvega latinskega ekse- geta in prvega po imenu znanega škofa v Petovioni, ki je umrl mučeniške smrti leta 303. Prispevek podaja stanje raziskav o zgodnjem krščanstvu v Petovioni, predstavlja sv. Viktorina in rodbino Inzaghi, osredotoča pa se na ureditev kapele Žalostne Matere božje in stropno poslikavo v kapeli, delo ptujskega slikarja Franca Antona Pachmayerja in njegovega pomočnika Antona Lerchingerja (1741). Avtorica je skušala prepoznati ikonografski program poslikave, ki jo je primerjala z Viktorinovim komentarjem Apokalipse. Podala je hipotezo, da so v južnem stranskem polju upodobljeni sv. Viktorin in več oseb iz Stare zaveze, o katerih je razpravljal sv. Viktorin.From 1731 until his death, Franz Ignaz Count of In- Inzaghi (1691–1768) was the archpriest and dean of the parish church of St George in Ptuj. The paper aims to refresh our knowledge of the Counts’ contribution to the appearance and furnishings of the church, while it also points out Inzaghi’s efforts to obtain the Pope’s permission for the veneration of St Victorinus, the first Latin exegete and the first bishop in Poetovio known by name, who died as a martyr in 303 AD. The contribution presents the current state of research on Early Christianity in Poetovio, St Victorinus and the Inzaghi family, while it focuses on the arrangement of the chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows and the ceiling painting in the chapel, the work of Ptuj painter Franz Anton Pachmayer and his assistant Anton Lerchinger (1741). The author attempted to recognize the iconographic program of the painting, which she compared to St Victorinus’ comment of the Apocalypse. She set a hypothesis that St Victorinus and several people from the Old Testament, whom he discussed, are depicted in the southern side field
