The oeuvre of the sculptor Georg Raphael Donner (1693–1741) has long been considered a core component of the Baroque canon in Central Europe and has consistently drawn the attention not only of art historians but also of a broader audience. However, further investigation and analysis remain to be conducted. This paper presents a previously unknown contract signed by Donner in 1734 relating to the high altar of the new parish church of St Stephen in Jablonica (Slovakia). At that time, Donner was employed at the court of Archbishop and Hungarian Primate Emmerich Eszterházy (1664–1745) in Bratislava. Ladislaus Korlátköy de Laps († 1750) served as the primary patron of the church in Jablonica and was instrumental in commissioning the high altar. Although the altarpiece was apparently not implemented, the detailed contract is an important document for the history of the church in Jablonica and for an understanding of Donner's creative and economic activities during his ten-year tenure in presentday Slovakia. The contract demonstrates not only Donner's collaboration with a circle of artists close to the court of Emmerich Eszterházy, but also the considerable breadth of the sculptor's competence. This ranged from the supply of stone, perhaps in part from a quarry he managed himself, to the design of an altarpiece intended for the centre of the altar, as well as the provision of collaborators and subcontractors.
