The article concerns the group of twelve figures presenting the apostles. They are located in the retable in the church of St James in Levoča. First, the article presents the original context of the figures' creation. The author supports an argument, long known in relevant literature that the figures were part of the adornment of the retable which was placed in the choir of St James church in Levoča in the 14th century. The main thesis of the article is the assumption that while creating the concept of the new retable Pavel of Levoča not only used the figures themselves, but he was also inspired by the structure of the previous retable when designing the new one.

The article focuses on two building projects commissioned by Count Andreas Joseph Koháry, an influential land owner and officer in the wars against Turks, in the first half of the 18th century - i.e. castles in Ebenthal, Lower Austria, and in St. Anton (Svätý Anton), Upper Hungary (today Slovakia). It touches predominantly the involvement of Viennese architect Johann Enzenhoffer and painter Anton Schmidt. Beside contemporary photos, the text is accompanied by reproductions of original designs.

The paper takes a closer look at the Late Baroque remodelling of the St. Emmeram Cathedral in Nitra, commissioned by Bishop Ladislas Adam Count Erdody and executed from 1710 to 1732, and especially at its wall paintings by noted artist Gottlieb Anton Galliarti. The text and figures guide us through general historical background, architectural development of the cathedral, Galliarti's activities in Nitra and abroad and finally concentrate on the frescos in the sanctuary of the Upper Church, in the Lower Church, on altarpieces, and on painter's inspirations and his work with models.
