The paper offers an attempt at recreating the layout of the apartments in the residence at
Krystynopol, as well as their interior decoration and furnishings, on the basis of a hitherto
unknown and unpublished inventory of 1775, preserved in the Central State Historical
Archives in Kiev. Very few objects from the once rich furnishings of the Krystynopol
pałace have survived. Among them are: the stately bed of Anna Elżbieta Potocka, now on
show in the permanent exhibition at the castle in Pieskowa Skała, apparently identical
which the one mentioned in the inventory, as well as four tapestries in the same collection,
from a series depicting The History of Alexander the Great (Battle ofthe Granicus, Battle of
Arbela [Gaugamela], Triumphal Entry of Alexander the Great into Babylon, and King Porus
before Alexander the Great). The Krystynopol pałace may have possessed also another set
of tapestries, this time representing the episodes from The Trojan War, sińce the inventory
mentions wali hangings depicting such themes. It may be assumed with some degree of
confidence that also the two tapestries from The Trojan War series, from the collection of
the Potocki family at Peczara and now part of the holdings of the Wawel Castle in Cracow
(The Abduction of Helena and the Battle ofGreeks and Trojans), initially decorated the walls
of the Krystynopol residence. #
