Rendic began work on the Petrinovic family mausoleum but was, in effect, fired by the Petrinovic family who tried to hire Ivan Mestrovic. When the great sculptor declined, the commission was given to Toma Rosandic from Mestrovic's studio, who created the evocative white stone monument with Byzantine-Oriental features.The Petrinovic family left Brac in 1900 and emigrated to Chile (as did many Brac inhabitants) where they made their fortune in saltpeter. Constructed of Brac stone, the form is Byzantine but the reliefs are Viennese secessionist. Above the crypt there is a cemetery chapel with a statue of the Crucifixion over the main altar.
