Elevation of the southern flank of the castle in Łańcut

Elevation of the south wing of Łańcut Castle from the side of the main courtyard The photograph shows the façade of the 17th-century south wing of Łańcut Castle from the side of the main courtyard. In this wing, there is a passage gate closed with a semicircular arcade, leading to the courtyard. Above the gate is a 17th-century cartouche with a shield with coats of arms. The façade wall by the vestibule is covered with vines. The photograph was taken by Dr Józef Piotrowski (1873–1939), a Lviv art historian. From 1 June 1920 to 1929, he served as a conservator at the Lviv Voivodeship Office (see Piotr Lasek, Inwentaryzacja zabytków architektury w lwowskim okręgu konserwatorskim 1920-1939. Szkice z dziejów, Warsaw: Instytut Sztuki PAN, 2020, pp. 32–62). He was the author of the study Zamek w Łańcucie. Zwięzły opis dziejów i zbiorów (1933) and the author of photographic documentation of the Łańcut Castle, its interiors and collections, today owned by the Łańcut Castle Museum (among others, albums, volumes I-X, Lviv 1936) and the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (albums, volumes I-IX, Lviv 1929).
