The subject of this article is Renaissance alabaster piscina (or sacrarium) preserved in situ in the parish church of Dobromil (now Ukraine). According to the Author the artist responsible for the piscina at Dobromil was a stonemason and professional in shaping decorative forms and yet poorly experienced in figural sculpture. The motifs he applied were Italian in origin, thus proving the artist involved had come into contact with such art either personally or by means some sort of master with whom he must have worked. It is equally possible that a mason originating from the borderlands of Italy and Switzerland had been involved in this object’s creation.
