the Learned Society of Cracow; soon they were joined by
new membership, including Marian Sokolowski, the fu-
ture first professor of art history at the Jagiellonian Uni-
versity
Władysław Łuszczkiewicz was the moving force of the
Commission in the early stages of its functioning. He,
along with Sokołowski, had compiled the Commissions
first scholarly agenda, discussed in the third part of the
paper. This programme, publicised in December 1873, was
largely based on a similar document drafted for the 1870
commission on the history of art in Poland’, and specified
research on Polish art, for instance, by means of making
study ‘trips’ intended to examine historic objects in situ,
conducting surveys, acquiring visual material, compil-
ing a bibliography of Polish art and publishing the Com-
mission’s own periodical. The programme’s novel element
was to include the study of works of foreign art in Polish
collections and the work of foreign artists in Poland and
Polish artists abroad within the Commission’s remit.
The paper’s last subsection presents the Commis-
sion’s efforts to establish its own periodical: Sprawozda-
nia Komisji do Badania Historii Sztuki w Polsce [Trans-
actions of the Commission for the Study of Art History
in Poland]. The Transactions was the first Polish schol-
arly art-historical periodical and it played a key role in
the development of art-historical research of Polish art.
The journal was founded not without difficulties: it took
a few years to decide whether the new periodical should
be a joint undertaking of the Commission on Art History
and the Commission on Archaeology (an option favoured
by the Academy’s secretary general, Józef Szujski), or if it
were to be published solely by the former body. Eventual-
ly, through the efforts of Łuszczkiewicz, the latter concep-
tion won, and the first issue of the Transactions, in a luxu-
rious in folio format, with lithographed plates, appeared in
the autumn of 1877.
