PAULINA SZULC
The most time consuming work took place on the frieze around the entrance porch. The bas-relief was executed by Paweł Malinski,
and has been remodelled several times since, with today's composition rather far removed trom the one placed there in 1830. In 1891.
a four-column portico was erected (extant today), where the bas-relief was transferred. Malmski's frieze was divided into three parts
and 29 flgures were added. The frieze was badly damaged during World War II. The front of the frieze visible today is a copy of the
bas-rehef that existed before the war. The composition of the sides has been changed and added on. Malmski was probably inspired by
Sophocles's tragedy OeJipM-y but this is only evident upon reconstruction of the original relief.
AH the bas-reliefs visible on today's façade are copies made by Teresa Rostworowska in 1953-1957. Archival photographs and
inventory drawings show that the decorations of the façade had been only slightly damaged. but during the reconstruction it was decided
to remove and replace all the bas-reliefs with stone copies (the decorations were originally made of plaster). The authentic fragments
are kept in the Museum of Warsaw.
