Art and Heritage in Central Europe<\/h1>

On December 15, 2023, the project “Conservation of stained glass designs from 1936 by Jan Bukowski for the cathedral of St. Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Sosnowiec\u201d co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage from the Cultural Promotion Fund, completed by the Schoen’s Palace Museum in Sosnowiec, is officially coming to an end.<\/p>\n

HERITO is the media patron of the project.<\/p>\n

The basic goal of the project, i.e. restoring three large-format stained glass designs from the collection of the Sosnowiec museum has been fully achieved. The works will serve researchers of Jan Bukowski’s oeuvre as well as the art of the interwar period for many years to come. They are also an extraordinary testimony to the past of Sosnowiec, a city with a unique common Krakow-Sosnowiec cultural heritage, the best evidence of which is the interior of the cathedral basilica of Assumption of Virgin Mary.<\/p>\n

On December 11, 2023, Director Pawe\u0142 Dusza closed the “Recovered Heritage” exhibition, during which three large-format designs were publicly presented for the first time: “The Blessed Virgin Mary”, “Our Lady of the Rosary with Child” and “The Stigmatization of St. Francis” (preserved partially). These are executive designs for the three stained glass windows made in the church of Assumption of Virgin Mary in Sosnowiec, since 1992 serving as the cathedral church of the then newly established Sosnowiec diocese. It is an extraordinary temple. Built thanks to the efforts of Fr. Dominic Roch Milbert in 1893-1899 in the Neo-Romanesque style, designed of the famous Warsaw architect Karol Koz\u0142owski. Its incredible beauty is determined by its eclectic interior decorated with murals by W\u0142odzimierz Tetmajer and Henryk Uziemb\u0142o (1904-1906), and a set of 43 stained-glass windows designed by Jan Bukowski, which were produced in 1935-1939 by the Krakowski Zak\u0142ad Witra\u017c\u00f3w S. G. \u017bele\u0144ski.<\/p>\n

The designs from the collection of the Schoen’s Palace Museum were made by Jan Bukowski in 1936 for the stained glass windows that are still in the cathedral’s transept. The inscriptions, signatures and dates preserved on the designs and stained glass windows clearly authorship, and the fact that the donors were the husband and wife Stanis\u0142aw and Maria Kraupe (“The Stigmatization of St. Francis” and “The Blessed Virgin Mary”) and Ludwik and Helena Pi\u0105tkowski (“Our Lady of the Rosary”).<\/p>\n

Many factors determine the high value of the designs in question. Dr. Hab. Andrzej Laskowski, prof. UEK, listed in his oppinion among the most important ones:<\/p>\n
