and the most valuable of them, Ladislaus’ portrait by Rubens, on
long-term loan from the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The
solemnity of the interiors is further enhanced by the period
furniture, heavy, monumental, and darkly hued. Smaller and more
intimate is the private suite of Sigismund III. In the chapel and the
Sigismund Tower studio, some ceiling stuccowork has been
preserved. The decoration of the rooms, reflecting the King’s
preoccupations as an art lover and collector, includes a number
of valuable Dutch and Flemish paintings from the seventeenth
century.
