Jardiniere in the Italian Garden in the park in Łańcut The photograph shows a jardiniere set in the Italian Garden, established around 1900 in front of the eastern elevation of Łańcut Castle. The jardiniere consists of a wooden box filled with flowering geraniums supported by a pair of carved marble bases. These bases are a 19th-century copy of the bases of an antique table, brought from Italy by Roman Potocki, 3rd Lord Ordynat of Łańcut (see B. Trojnar, Rzeźba w Muzeum-Zamku w Łańcucie. Dzieje kolekcji, ekspozycja, katalog, Łańcut 2006, pp. 189–190, item. 74). 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 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).
