Konserwatorski palimpsest we wnętrzach Kamienicy Krauzowskiej w Krakowie
type: item
description: CONSERVATION PALIMPSEST IN THE INTERIORS OF THE KRAUZOWSKA TOWNHOUSE IN KRAKOW: AN EDUCATIONAL EXAMPLE This article presents and compares three fundamentally different conservation programmes of the rooms on the first floor of the Krauzowska (from the surname Krauze) Townhouse – the headquarters of the Society of Friends of Kraków History and Heritage at 12 Jana Street in Krakow. The programmes were based on the results of extensive conservation research – archival, stratigraphic/archaeological, architectural and analytical. As a result of these, and in response to various circumstances – expert opinions, functional conditions and the state of preservation of individual historical layers in different areas of the building – three different programmes were developed in accordance with the same conservation doctrine, showing above all the different styles of artistic finishing. This example clearly demonstrates the creative aspect of conservation work, the various possibilities of interpretation in compliance with the principles of the Athens Charter, the Venice Charter and all subsequent ICOMOS doctrinal documents in force, as well as those developed at conservation congresses. Because of its uniqueness and especially its educational value – the demonstration of various conservation possibilities in one valuable and repeatedly transformed building – the site has become part of the curriculum in the training of architectural conservators in post-graduate studies at the Technical University of Krakow and appears on the itinerary of various specialist presentations.

Prace konserwatorskie w Krakowie w roku 2023 finansowane ze środków Narodowego Funduszu Rewaloryzacji Zabytków Krakowa

description: CONSERVATION WORK IN KRAKOW IN 2023 FINANCED BY THE NATIONAL FUND FOR THE RESTORATION OF KRAKOW MONUMENTS The Social Committee for the Restoration of Kraków Monuments (SKOZK) operates in accordance with the principles set out in the landmark year of 1990. The selection of tasks is determined by an assessment of the conservation needs and historical values of individual buildings. In 2023, the Committee had over PLN 37 million at its disposal, 37 million coming from a grant by the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland. These funds work like a “magnet” on the beneficiaries of the Committee, who contributed a total of over PLN 41 million. 142 tasks were carried out at 102 sites (largely continuations). At the Wawel Castle, the works included the Cathedral (the helmet of the Clock Tower) and the Royal Castle (conservation of the cellars). In the historic centre, the conservation of the western façade of St Mary’s Church is particularly important. In the centre, work has been carried out on almost all historic religious complexes and numerous secular buildings. In Kazimierz, the continued conservation of the decoration of the Corpus Christi parish church and work in the former Jewish Town are particularly noteworthy. Within the former suburbs, the conservation of the late-Romanesque remains of the Premonstratensian (Norbertine) Church in Zwierzyniec produced significant results. On the outskirts of the city, large-scale work was carried out on the Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec and the Cistercian Abbey in Mogiła, the Camaldolese Monastery in Bielany, and the defensive works of the Austrian fortress from the second half of the 19th century.

description: FROM THE ACTIVITIES OF THE KOŚCIUSZKO MOUND COMMITTEE, APRIL 5, 2023 TO APRIL 12, 2024 The article is an abbreviated report on the activities of the Kościuszko Mound Committee for the period from April 2023 to April 2024. This was the 204th year of the Committee’s existence, its conservation work on the Kościuszko Mound, and the cultivation of Kościuszko traditions. During the reporting period, we hosted a group of aborigines from the Ngarigo clan – the custodians of Mound Kościuszko in Australia, who gave a concert of their songs at the Mound. We hosted the US Army Lieutenant Colonel Travis Neudersten from a NATO post in Norway. Guests of the Committee traditionally included cadets from the Kościuszko Squadron at the Military Academy at West Point. Prof. Anthony J. Bajdek, our honorary member, arrived from the United States for the November 24, 2023 closing ceremony of the three-year celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the Kościuszko Mound and Committee. Erin Nickerson, Consul General of the United States, also participated in the celebrations. In mid-October 2023, traditional oath-taking ceremonies of first grade students of four Tadeusz Kościuszko schools from Krakow, Krzeszowice and Zawiercie took place at the Mound. Three inspections of the Committee’s execution of the adaptive renovation of the bastion and curtain for the purposes of the Kościuszko Museum with a permanent exhibition: Kościuszko the Hero Still Needed – conducted by the Voivodship Marshal’s Office and the Commissioner from the European Union, the Social Committee for the Restoration of Kraków Monuments at the Department for the Revitalisation of Krakow Monuments and National Heritage of the Małopolska Voivodship Office – were successful, showing no irregularities. Three books were published, including the Biographical Dictionary of the Kościuszko Mound Committee Members 1820–2020. The Committee’s collection was enriched through the purchase of engravings, one painting and 409 student badges…

O krakowskich przodkach „Wiedeńczyka” Ludwika Szczepańskiego
type: item
description: ABOUT THE KRAKOW ANCESTORS OF LUDWIK SZCZEPAŃSKI “THE VIENNESE” The study was devoted to the genealogy of Ludwik Szczepański (1872–1954), a forgotten poet of the Young Poland movement and a journalist, who was born and died in Krakow, but grew up in Vienna and was ironically called “the Viennese” in his native city. The article presents the stories of two families: Szczepańskis and Zieleniewskis, starting with the first of their representatives to settle in Krakow: Józef Szczepański (a pedagogue), born in 1801 near Wiśnicz, and Antoni Zieleniewski, who was born in 1770 in Raciąż; this blacksmith’s apprentice gave rise to the L. Zieleniewski Machine and Apparatus Building Plant, which still flourishes in Niepołomice. The text presents the turbulent fate of both families against the background of social, political and economic changes.

description: GALICIAN UKRAINIANS IN INTERNMENT CAMP NO. I DĄBIE This article discusses the issue of the detention of Ukrainians from Eastern Galicia in Internment Camp No. I Dąbie in 1918–1921. Opened as early as November 1918, until the summer of 1919 it was, in addition to the POW camp in Wadowice, the main place of detention for internees from Eastern Galicia. Most of foreign nationals and minority members that found themselves in Polish captivity passed through the camp. Among them were Galician Ukrainians. They appeared in the camp as early as November 1918, after which they were the main inmates of Dąbie for 13 months. They included both leading representatives of the Ukrainian intelligentsia and peasants – the entire cross--section of society was represented. Conditions in Dąbie were somewhat better than in other sites in Poland, so it was possible to carry out extensive cultural work, despite the often inadequate food rations. Ukrainians mostly left the camp in early January 1920, but a small group was also interned later, so the last of them left captivity in 1921.

„Na pierwiastkach swojskich i osnowie sztuki ludowej” – projekty tkanin, mebli, wnętrz, polichromii i druków Eugeniusza Dąbrowy-Dąbrowskiego
type: item
description: “BASED ON NATIVE ELEMENTS AND THE WARP OF FOLK ART” – DESIGNS OF TEXTILES, FURNITURE, INTERIORS, WALL PAINTINGS AND PRINTS BY EUGENIUSZ DĄBROWA-DĄBROWSKI This article is the first attempt to show the part of Eugeniusz Ludwik Dąbrowa-Dąbrowski’s (1870–1941) oeuvre that is related to the design of kilims, furniture, interiors, wall paintings and prints. Dąbrowa’s designs include kilims made in the workshop of Antonina Sikorska near Krakow, restaurant interiors in the Old Theatre, wall paintings in the building of the Technical Society and Noworolski Café in Krakow, as well as numerous covers, initials and vignettes. Dąbrowa took interest in applied art after 1901, when he became involved with the Krakow Society for Polish Applied Art. The common thread of his work in all techniques is a strong inspiration from folk art, so this theme was chosen as the leading one when analysing his designs. This source of inspiration prompted the question of the meaning of folk art for Dąbrowski: Was it a search for a national style in applied art, or perhaps an appropriation of the achievements of folk artists and a somewhat superficial fad that temporarily attracted the interest of viewers and clients?

Emilia Urbańczykówna – właścicielka atelier „Secesya” w Podgórzu
type: item
description: EMILIA URBAŃCZYKÓWNA - OWNER OF THE “SECESYA” ATELIER IN PODGÓRZE: MODERN WOMAN, FORGOTTEN PHOTOGRAPHER Emilia Urbańczykówna was the first woman to open her own photographic studio in Krakow, which is of particular importance, as the Krakow female photographers we know of came from families involved in this profession. Born on December 16, 1889 in Krakow, she was artistically gifted and began to learn the craft of photography with a view to practising this profession. It should be noted that at the time, many young women with artistic ability sought employment precisely in photographic studios. Urbańczykówna trained under Józef Kuczyński and Antoni Gürtler, as well as under Klementyna Mien. In 1915 she bought the “Secesyaˮ atelier, located in the garden of the property at 9 Rynek Podgórski, from Bazyli Sławiński, where she began working on September 1 of that year. Her establishment was a popular place for portraits, and first communion and wedding photographs. Urbańczykówna ran “Secesya” until 1939. Later, in a now-defunct house at 45 Lea Street, she opened the “Luna” workshop, and around 1941 she opened a new studio, “Plastyka”. It was located in the city centre, at 11 Zwierzyniecka Street, and operated until around 1948. Emilia Urbańczyk’s professional position in the industry was recognised, as evidenced by her involvement in the management of the Photographers’ Guild of the Krakow Province. At the end of 1930, she passed the Guild’s exam, which entitled her to use the title of master photographer. Urbańczyk was involved in the photographic craft for more than 30 years; she died on September 11, 1949. In addition to Urbańczykówna’s fate and photographic activities, the article mentions other photographers who ran the “Secesya” workshop: Józef Sebald, Jan Suchecki, Bazyli Sławiński, Antoni Walaszek and his son Stanisław. Numerous photographs preserved in archives and museums, as well as in private collections, have survived from the atelier’s legacy, some of whic…

Błonia krakowskie
type: item
description: KRAKOW BŁONIA OR COMMONS, MUNICIPAL PASTURE, KRAKOW FIELD OF MARS, MUNICIPAL MEADOW PARK, MEADOW OF INDEPENDENCE Krakow Błonia – a green meadow area, preserved without buildings, stretching in the Rudawa River valley, located close to the historic city centre – is a phenomenon on a European scale in terms of size and permanence of its functions. Błonia, a medieval “prato”, pastureland for the city and suburban villages, preserved until the twentieth century (!), over time also acquired the role of a site of military exercises and revues (Field of Mars), scene of important events in the life of the city and the nation, a place of recreation for residents (People’s Park) and an area for sports (stadiums). Despite the long duration of using the Commons for traditional purposes, its surroundings evolved. During the period of the Free City of Krakow (1815–1846), the Kościuszko Mound, which became the hallmark of the landscape, was built behind the Błonia in 1820–1823. In the 2nd half of the 19th century, after Krakow was incorporated into the Austrian partition and the Austrian Krakow Fortress was established, the borders of the Commons took shape. From the east they were defined by the fortress rampart of the Fortress core (later the line of Aleja Trzech Wieszczów) and from the west by the defensive perimeter with a rocade road (today Piastowska Street), which separated Błonia proper from the so-called Small Błonia. In 1910, the Plan of Greater Krakow was created. The new concept of Krakow as a garden city confirmed the unique role of the Commons as a great city park in the form of a meadow. On August 4, 1914, soldiers of the 1st Cadre Company took the oath here before setting out to fight for Independence, thus the Błonia gained a symbolic meaning of the Meadow of Independence. The article presents the successive stages of evolution of this unique urban area - during the interwar period, under the occupation and after the war. The author highlights contemporary urban p…

Związki Ambrożego Grabowskiego z Towarzystwem Naukowym Krakowskim
type: item
description: AMBROŻY GRABOWSKI’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE KRAKOW SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY Ambroży Grabowski (1782–1868), elected an active member of the Krakow Learned Society (TNK) on March 18, 1837, made every effort to ensure that scholars and creators worthy of this honour were admitted to its ranks. Thanks to him, Antoni Oleszczyński, an engraver, and Wojciech Albert Sowiński, a pianist and composer, were accepted as correspondents of the TNK. The article shows Ambroży Grabowski as a donor to the Society. His sponsorship includes monetary donations, works of his own authorship, archival material and artefacts collected and gathered by him over the years. This eminent enthusiast of Krakow’s history, science and culture enriched the Society’s book collection by donating his publications: Dawne grobowiska znajdywane w krakowskim (Old graveyards found in the Krakow area, 1852), Początek iconografii naszej (The beginning of our iconography, 1858), Zbiórka pomniejszych wiadomości w dziedzinie sztuk nadobnych (A collection of minor information on the fine arts, 1859), and Przewodnik do grobów królów polskich (A guide to the graves of Polish kings, 1868). Ambroży Grabowski collected and donated a very extensive collection of various documents, manuscripts, old prints, calendars, maps and engravings. The most numerous gifts to the Society were made in 1862. On 4 March 1868, Ambroży Grabowski’s 86th birthday, a delegation from TNK, comprising Józef Majer, Wincenty Pol and Józef Łepkowski, presented him with a commemorative photographic tableau of Warsaw editors, printers and booksellers. Two source documents, Ambroży Grabowski’s autobiography and testament, which he donated to the Krakow Learned Society, are attached to the article.

Konstanty Majeranowski (1787–1851) jako wydawca i literat
type: item
description: KONSTANTY MAJERANOWSKI (1787‒1851) AS A PUBLISHER AND WRITER Konstanty Majeranowski (1787–1851), who came from the Grójec area, was a well-known figure in the times of the Free City of Krakow (1815–1846). He worked in administration, and served as secretary in the Managing Committee for the Construction of the Tadeusz Kościuszko Monument. He is the author of a dozen or so original theatre plays based on historical motifs, using Krakow folklore, as well as many adaptations and translations of plays from French and German. He became famous as the publisher of Pszczółka Krakowska (The Krakow Little Bee), published between 1819 and 1821, as well as a dozen or so other periodicals, mainly of a literary and historical nature, which did not survive on the publishing market for too long. He filled the pages of these periodicals primarily with historical publications of his own authorship, but also published literary polemics and columns. Fascinated with the history and customs of Krakow, he created historical fictions related to this subject, aiming to emphasise the splendour of the former Krakow bourgeoisie. He was recognised as a skilled journalist who contributed to the revival of the periodical publishing market in Krakow, and an active publisher who also appreciated the need for political information. Between 1836 and 1848 he worked as a censor, a very strict one, and was suspected of spying for Russia.

description: FURNISHINGS OF THE LODGINGS IN THE KRAKOW GUILD OF PAINTERS AND GILDERS IN 1748–1782 AND THEIR LATER FATE Between 1748 and 1782, the Krakow Guild of Painters and gilders functioned under the auspices of the Krakow Academy and in accordance with the successive statutes granted by its rectors. The guild members were assigned new seat in the Nowodworski Schools building. The furnishings of the renovated premises were to include works made by painters and gilders from the guild specifically for the new premises, as well as masterieces donated by journeymen completing their training. In 1766, plaster models of human body parts were purchased, most likely in connection with the new regulations governing the teaching of painting. Subsequently, Hugo Kołłątaj supplied the guild with engravings and books useful for teaching drawing. Due to the reform of the Krakow Academy by Kołłątaj in 1782, the painters were removed from the academy, the keys to the seat were taken away from them, and the furnishings were taken over by the academy. The guild attempted to regain its property by writing letters to the academy authorities, and their efforts were successful: the furnishings of the seat were returned to them. From 1793 onwards, successive guild aldermen kept the documents, paintings and other items from the seat. Due to the deterioration of the guild’s financial situation and disputes arising from the retention of the guild’s movable property by the aldermen, it was decided in 1807 that the masters could take back their masterpieces if certain conditions were met, and in 1821 two works remaining in the guild’s ownership were sold, thus leading to the dispersal of the furnishing of the seat in the Nowodworski Schools building.

description: “THE MOST WONDERFUL ADORNMENT OF THE CONVENT”: REMARKS ON THE ACTIVITY OF THE PRIOR OF THE KRAKOW DOMINICANS JUST SŁOWIKOWSKI (1643‒1689) In the 17th century, the Krakow Dominican monastery of the Holy Trinity was experiencing a period of development, with numerous construction works under way and artistic undertakings initiated under the patronage of the convent’s Prior. This article presents an outline of the biography and analyses the activities of the Prior of the Krakow Dominicans, Just Słowikowski (1643‒1689). A native of a Krakow bourgeois family, Słowikowski held the office of Prior of the Krakow Dominican monastery for two terms, in 1681–1684 and 1687–1689. The study reconstructs the course of his monastic career, paying particular attention to the young friar’s studies abroad, as well as his stay in Rome and his activity in the Polish Dominican province as Prior of Elbląg and socius (assistant) of successive provincial superiors, and finally as Prior in Gdańsk. The work outlines Słowikowski’s activity as Prior of the Krakow convent; it also describes the architectural and artistic projects he championed. Particular attention is given to the construction of the new main altar of the Holy Trinity Church in Krakow in 1684; other artistic initiatives and foundations of the prior are also outlined, as well as his collaboration with benefactors on the work carried out under his patronage at the Dominican church in Krakow.

Późnogotyckie sklepienia w kaplicach kościoła Mariackiego w Krakowie

description: LATE GOTHIC VAULTS IN THE CHAPELS OF THE ST. MARY’S CHURCH IN KRAKOW The chapels of St. Mary’s Church in Krakow contain one of the richest ensembles of Late Gothic vaults in Małopolska, which has not yet been sufficiently discussed. The chapels themselves were built gradually – the oldest before 1435, and the latest by 1446. It is most likely that the original vaults have survived in the chapels of the Transfiguration and Archangel Michael, the Chapel of St. Valentine and the south porch. All of them may have been made by one of the Silesian workshops active in Krakow at the time, as evidenced by the distinctly Silesian origins of their forms – the so-called “crooked stars” and the thickened and asymmetrical grids, respectively. Also original is perhaps the covering of the northern porch (reconstructed in 1891), showing similarities to the northern and western arms of the cruciform octagon in the church in Gosławice (before 1426), which may have been known to Silesian masters rebuilding the cloisters of the Franciscan monastery in Krakow at that time, but inspiration from the architecture of Austria and Upper Hungary cannot also be ruled out, and thus a later dating to the beginning of the 16th century. The vaults in the chapels of St. John the Baptist, St. Lazarus and St. Lawrence are defi nitely of later origin – the former imitates the choir ceiling of St. Mary’s Church (in the version from before the 19th-century reconstruction), while the others are of Austrian pedigree, although they may have come to Krakow via Olomouc or Hungary. A detailed analysis of their forms makes it possible to date them to 1516, the date shown on the cartouche with the Boner coat of arms preserved on the outer wall of the chapels on the north side.

Kościół św. Wawrzyńca w Kazimierzu – kilka uwag o genezie, funkcjonowaniu, lokalizacji i likwidacji świątyni
type: item
description: THE CHURCH OF ST. LAWRENCE IN KAZIMIERZ – SOME REMARKS ON THE ORIGINS, FUNCTIONING, LOCATION AND LIQUIDATION OF THE CHURCH The subject of this article is the Church of St. Lawrence. The now-defunct church was originally located in the village of Bawół near Kraków, incorporated into the new town after the chartering of Kazimierz. Scholarly hypotheses on the origins of this church are presented: it could have been a knight’s foundation, an element of the chartering of Bawół, or a church of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. It is known that before 1335 it functioned as the Bawół parish church. However, as a result of the chartering of Kazimierz and the construction of Corpus Christi parish church, St. Lawrence’s became a subsidiary church. Deprived of parish rights and located on the periphery of the Christian part of Kazimierz, it lost its importance and was often referred to as a “chapel”. Thanks to the surviving inspection reports, the few views of Kazimierz and cartographic sources, it has been possible to establish rudimentary information about the architecture and furnishings of the church. Until the end of the 18th century there was a cemetery next to the church, intended mostly for the poor, as both historical evidence and parish records show. According to church and cartographic sources, the church was demolished around 1788 as a result of the policy of Primate Michał Jerzy Poniatowski. By feeding two cartographic sources (the Kołłątaj Plan and the Senate Plan) into GIS (Geographic Information System) software, the church and cemetery were positioned within the contemporary topography of Krakow.

Prace konserwatorskie w Krakowie w roku 2022 dofinansowane ze środków Narodowego Funduszu Rewaloryzacji Zabytków Krakowa

description: CONSERVATION WORKS IN KRAKÓW CO-FINANCED BY THE NATIONAL FUND FOR RESTORATION OF KRAKÓW MONUMENTS IN 2022 The guidelines have remained unchanged since the reorganisation of the Committee after the 1990 transition. The amount at the fund’s disposal was PLN 3,015,593.47, of which PLN 30 million was a subsidy from the Office of the President of the Republic of Poland. 117 tasks were implemented in 95 facilities. The beneficiaries’ own contribution amounted to over PLN 21.7 million or over PLN 41.5 million, if we include tasks outside the conservation programmes. For every złoty spent from the National Fund for Restoration of Kraków Monuments, the statistical beneficiary contributed PLN 1.38 from their own resources. At the Wawel Cathedral, restoration work began on the late Baroque helm roof of the clock tower, and work continued on the burial chapel of King John I Albert and – at the castle itself – on the parapet of the Renaissance curtain wall. In the historic city centre, work continued at St. Mary’s and St. Anne’s churches; at Saints Peter and Paul Church work and archaeological research continued on the formation of the National Pantheon, and conservation work began on the statues of the 12 Apostles crowning the fence of the square in front of the church. Work in monasteries included the conservation of 17th–19th century paintings at the Franciscans; the completion of structural protection at the Dominican Sisters in Gródek; and work on the painted decoration of the refectory at the Poor Clares. Among the tasks in secular architecture, a special place was occupied by works in university buildings (Collegium Maius, Collegium Kołłątaja and Collegium Broscianum) and the conservation of the painted decoration of Klemens Bąkowski’s townhouse (12 St. Jana Street). In Kazimierz, work continued on the churches of Corpus Christi, St. Catherine and St. Margaret, and the Pauline Church on Skałka. In the former Oppidum Iudaeorum, the foundations of the Isaac Synagogue were i…
