Summary/Abstract: Over the last few years quite a few authors have researched the painting Dead Christ and the Bosnian King Stjepan Tomaš (or simply Dead Christ and the Patron) by Lovro Dobričević, from Strossmayer Gallery in Zagreb and the so-called Ohmučević geneology, which had been associated with it until the recently performed conservation and restauration project of 2006. The painting comes from the Franciscan monastery of Kraljeva Sutjeska. At the time when Dobričević’s painting and the genesis of Sutjeska were a unified whole, they represented a kind of „double relic“ for the Franciscans of the Franciscan Province of Bosna Srebrena. In 1871, they left it with the then Đakovo bishop J. J. Strossmayer to keep it, who had it exhibited in his newly opened gallery, where the painting is still present.
