Hoc protegente secura stat inclita urbs Esseck. On the Commission Circumstances and Authorship of the Plague Column in Osijek
The Holy Trinity plague column erected in 1728/30 on the main square in Osijek’s Fort, as it can be seen today, is not a homogenous work, for it was expanded in the second half of the 18th century with four sculptures. One of them, St John of Nepomuk was originally placed in front of the Water Gate in Osijek on the Drava River, and the other three were brought from the Valpovo and Novograd Gates. About the author of the high- quality sculptures that originally belonged to the monument data have not been found, and it’s authorship has not yet been the subjected to extensive disputes, because a little known sculptor Joseph Gerrupp from Maribor, who obtained the citizenship in Osijek in 1726 has been generally excepted as the author of the column. In her book on the Baroque sculpture of northern Croatian D. Baričević deals with the Plague column only briefly, noting that the author of the sculptures might be a foreigner from one of the art centres. Following this suggestion the monument is considered in relation to the achievements in public sculpture in Maribor and Graz of the same period and attributed to Johann Jacob Schoy and his workshop.
