Secrets of the Past
List of lllustrations
1. Leon Potocki, Swifcone czyli Palac Potockich w Warszawie, Poznari 1854; BNW. Title
page of Leon Potocki’s book on the Potocki Palace
2. The Czartoryski-Potocki Palace, Warsaw, in 2011. Photo by Hubert Kowalski
3. Peter Schenk, View of the court of Marywil, copperplate engraving, 1703; MNW. Photo

4. Plan of the City of Warsaw, dedicated to His Majesty Augustus III, King of Poland,
Elector of Saxony, made by order of Count Bieliriski, Lord Grand Marshal of Poland, by the
engineer Lt.-Col. P. Ricaud de Tirregaille in the service of His Majesty and the Republic of
Poland, 1762; AGAD
5. Peter Schenk, The Denhoff residence, detail of Fig. 3; MNW
6. Unidentified painter, Portrait of Lord Hetman Sieniawski and his wife, with their
daughter Maria Zofia and her first husband, Stanislaw Denhoff, oils on canvas, 1724—26;
Wilanow Palace Museum
7. Unidentified painter, Portrait of Stanislaw Ernest Denhoff, Lord Field Hetman of Lithu-
ania, oils on canvas, ca. 1720; Royal Lazienki Museum in Warsaw
8. Unidentified painter, Portrait of August Aleksander Czartoryski, oils on canvas, 1730s;
Wilanow Palace Museum. On what is probably the best of all the Prince’s known portraits
we see a self-confident, proud, and intelligent man in his mid-thirties. His apparel, a breast-
plate and ermine-lined cloak, displayed against a homogeneous dark background, endow
him with an air of nobility, a perfect match, it seems, for his ambition to obtain the throne.
The exquisitely painted face, the highlights on the breastplate, the delicately applied Crim-
son verging on purple, and the unobtrusively presented cross of honour make this painting
an outstanding work of art.
9. Elevation of the main building of the Czartoryski-Potocki Palace, 1762; detail from the
vignette of Ricaud de Tirregaille’s plan of Warsaw; AGAD
10. Design for the elevation of the Palace’s main building and portico, ca. 1840, pen-and-
ink drawing; BNW. A quesdon arises: when was the Palace’s Classicising conversion, includ-
ing the addition of its Doric portico, done? Perhaps not until the 19th century?
