first rulers of Poland, Mieszko I and Boleslaus the Brave. It was Raczyński again who recom-
mended Schinkel to Artur Potocki, for whom the architect designed a new residence at Krze-
szowice. Finally, it was Raczyński who acted as an intermediary in Schinkel's contacts with
Tytus Adam Działyński and had the architect design a new facade of the castle at Zawada.
Atanazy Raczyński was a prominent connoisseur, student and collector of contemporary German
art and was known as a generous patron, which fact was recalled in 1981 during an exhibition
of paintings from his gallery held in the National Museum in Poznań. There were also other
Poles who appreciated the talent of the German architect. Prince Antoni Radziwiłł, the lieutenant
of the Grand Duchy of Poznań, was so fascinated with SchinkeFs extraordinary design for
a hunting lodge at Antonin, that he undertook to carry through this costly project, which is
today regarded as one of the most interesting works of the architect. Schinkel also designed
stage sets for Radziwiłł's opera Faust, after Goethe. The above-mentioned Tytus Adam Dzia-
łyński commissioned Schinkel to draw up a plan of reconstruction of the chateau at Kórnik
and later made creative use of this plan.
