Abstract

after the abolition in 1782 several works of art owned by the Clarisses were lost. some of them were identi- fied in recent years; i would like to write about an other one that was found in the cloister of the order of the sisters of saint elisabeth in Bratislava. it is fairly unique because of its theme: it commemorates the escaping of the Clarisses from stephen Bocskai’s attack on graz and vienna in 1605, also the taking over of the reformed and stricted regula. it was painted together with another, recently hidden picture that has since been lost almost twenty years later in 1623, most likely in the austrian capital, when Clarisses escaped secondly to vienna.
