“Emotions: Lviv Rococo Sculpture” Exhibition at the Wawel Royal Castle in Cracow
Art and Heritage in Central Europe
Wawel Royal Castle in Cracow invites you to visit the second edition of the presentation of masterpieces from the old Borderlands of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The exhibition entitled ‘Emotions. Lviv Rococo Sculpture’ will continue the last year’s display ‘Expression. Lviv Rococo Sculpture’.
At Wawel they show all preserved sculptures from the original furniture of the Missionary church of Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Horodenka, made in 1755–1757 by Johann Georg Pinsel and his workshop. From the original decoration of the church, only four figures are preserved, i.e. almost three metre high figures from the high altars, depicting Saints Anne, Joachim, Elisabeth, and Joseph, angels from the finial (one destructed, comprising a head and a torso), four putti, nine winged angel heads, two clouds, and the residually preserved figure Christ Sending Out the Apostles (?) from the pulpit. Over twenty objects have been borrowed from the Lviv National Art Gallery and the Art Museum of Prykarpattia in Ivano-Frankivsk. They are presented (similarly to the previous exhibition) in two halls of the western wing on the second floor of the castle.
The exhibition is available from June 20 to September 15, 2024.
