Modus: Prace z historii sztuki (16.2016)

Saint Michael Crushing the Heretics in the post-Jesuit church in Znojmo, a monumental
and dramatic The Judgment of Caiaphas in the parish church in Kożuchów, and a large
collection of paintings from the refectory of Carolinum in Nysa. Therefore, it is probable
that the Polish period was particularly important for the oeuvre of this artist, as it was for
the stuccoist Fontana, who left his most important work in Cracow. Hence, we can assume
that in both cases priest Piskorski played the role of an indirect employer, who could in
a special way motivate artists who worked for him. He was connected for many years to
Poor Clares as their confessor and prebendary of the church in Grodzisko near Skała, where
he realized his highly ambitious pilgrimage site, which commemorated Blessed Salomea,
the founder of the first monastery of this Polish rule. Piskorski also played an important
role in the transformation of the Cracow church of Poor Clares dedicated to St Andrew.
Ergo, we can assume that also in Stary Sącz he was at least a consultant and a fellow of ab-
bess Jordanówna and an initiator of bringing to Stary Sącz the workshop of Fontana and
paintings by Dankwart - the artists who he employed while supervising the construction
and decoration of a new university church dedicated to St Annę. #
