WŁADYSŁAW OLESZCZYŃSKŁS ROMAN FOOTPRINTS,
OR ON SEYERAL SOURCES FOR STUDYING AN ARTISTS LIFE
S u m m a r y
Władysław Oleszczyński (1808-1866) was the most outstanding Polish sculptor and
medallist of the Romantic epoch, the author of the first - not existing any morę today -
monument of Adam Mickiewicz in Poznań (1857), who, as a participant in the November
Uprising was forced to remain in emigration, mainly in France, where he carried out a lot of
works for the French society. Ele died and was buried in Romę.
We know re 1 ative 1 y little about OleszczyńskPs private life, or about the very person of the
artist. In the record Office of the Community of the Resurrection in Romę there are two
interesting documents. One of them is a list of things deposited with the Community after the
artist’s unexpected death; and the other one is detailed information about the expenses
connected with his burial.
In the office there is also one letter written by Władysław Oleszczyński to the
Ressurectionists in March 1861. a copy of the artist’s another - earlier - letter, a couple of
letters written by his brother Antoni several months after the sculptor’s death, and two letters
written by his widów at roughly the same time. From them we learn the inside story of the
stormy ending of Władysław 01eszczyński’s marriage to an unknown French woman, which
lasted for nearly thirty years. Although the cited documents and letters do not give
unambiguous answers to many ąuestions, they still broaden our knowledge of that
extraordinary artist.
