Abstract

The article presents the monastic and artistic connections between the charterhouses in Slovenia and the Gaming Charterhouse. The research shows that until around 1500 there was a relatively frequent exchange of priors and monks between Gaming and Slovenian charterhouses. In most cases these exchanges related to monks from Gaming coming to Slovenian charterhouse, while departures from Slovenian charterhouses to Gaming were considerably less frequent. Comparative and stylistic art historical analyses reveal several previously unnoticed connections. The matching mason’s marks also attest to this connection. The artistic patronage of the Counts of Cilli stands out in the Slovenian charterhouses. In the visual representation they could have imitated the artistic ways used by the Habsburgs for their memoria in Gaming.
