Some Remarks on the Furnishings of the Parish Church
of St Anne at Lubartów
The Church of St Anne at Lubartów was founded by Paweł Karol Sanguszko and built
by Paweł Antoni Fontana between 1733 and 1738. In the years 1737-1738 k was provided
with seven altars, a pulpit, and a baptismal font, as well as furniture for the chancel and
vestry, none of these objects having until now been studied by art histonans.
On the basis of analysis of their forms and origins lt may be supposed that Paweł
Fontana designed onły four altars (of St John Nepomuk, of St Anthony, of St Barbara, and
of St Joseph), along with the furniture for the chancel and vestry. For the altars Fontana
used his characteristic set of formal motifs of Italian origin.
The remaining altars - the high altar and two side ones of Our Lady of the Rosary and
of the Crucifixion - and the pulpit refer to the Austrian sculpture of the end of the 17lh and
first ąuarter of the 18lh centuries. The high altar reveals affmities to works by Matthias
Steml (Lambach, Lubiąż), whereas there exists no particular prototype for the side altars,
although in their crowning parts they resemble Andrea Pozzo's altars and almost contem-
porary side altars in Bratislava Cathedral (Georg Rafael Donner).
Archival materiał permitted the establishment that the sculptured furnishings had been
executed in the court sculptor's workshop which employed several, mostly anonymous,
woodcarvers, perhaps trained in the vigorous sculptural centrę at Puławy. The most lmpor-
tant role may have been played here by Johann Lucius, a woodcarver of Viennese descent,
recorded at Lubartów from 1733 to 1738, and Henryk Hoffmann, perhaps responsible
for the classicizing sculptures in the high altar. The furniture was made locally and at
Kolbuszowa, a cabinet-making centrę of countrywide renown (the cabinet-maker Józef
executed the confessionals, also Michał Kolisz, Stanisław Stelmach, Szulz, and Gołyński
being recorded).
