Art and Heritage in Central Europe<\/h1>

The new exhibition at the National Museum in Wroc\u0142aw showcases two impressive works by the sculptor Johann Georg Urbansky, who was educated in Prague and worked in Wroc\u0142aw in the first three decades of the 18th century. These groups of sculptures were created almost at the same time for the places of worship belonging to the two main religions in the capital city of Silesia \u2013 the Catholic Cathedral of St John the Baptist, and the Lutheran church of St Mary Magdalene in Wroc\u0142aw.<\/p>\n

The first, a group of life-size figures originally placed on the baluster of the presbytery in Wroc\u0142aw Cathedral, representing four Church Fathers, are works of world class, highly expressive as well as elegant and refined.\u00a0The other work is (or rather was) an organ screen, once adorning the Church of St Mary Magdalene, dismantled at the end of the 19th century, and whose sculpted decorative elements were transferred to the old Museum of Artistic Crafts and Antiquities in Wroc\u0142aw.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is available from 13 June to 29 October 2023.<\/p>\n

Curators of the exhibition: Piotr Oszczanowski, Barbara Andruszkiewicz.
