PAŁAC POTOCKICH W LUBLINIE

We have no evidential sources that there was a gallery of royal portraits in Lublin, but it goes
without saying that in this type of residence there must have hung at least portraits of the then
king and his wife. The portraits of August III and Maria Józefa, like August II the Strong,
were among those that had been sent from Radzyń to Warszawa. Therefore it is likely that the
portraits of kings in the eighteenth century hung in the Lublin palace. They were of a low
artistic class that did not fit in the rococo decorations in Radzyń, but were fit for the Lublin
seat of a tribunal’s marshal, the seat often visited by the nobility for whom that type of works
must have been uniquely dear.
