Le rôle de la sculpture dans l’architecture des résidences de magnats au xviiie siècle
Abstrak
The paper discusses two eighteenth-century magnates’ residences, the architecture of which functioned as a political statement, drawing on cultural codes rooted in the ancient tradition and borrowing from the model of Versailles. The palaces of Jan Klemens Branicki (1689–1771) in Białystok and of Eustachy Potocki (1720–1768) in Radzyń were built in the mid-eighteenth century. The analysis of their forms, spatial design and sculptures sheds light on their function as a ceremonial space serving political purposes. Our study focuses on the examination of the entrance gates, façade decoration and the sculptures located in the vestibules, which play a key role in the symbolic structures of the residences, as well as the gardens with their pavilions and sculptures. Together these elements constituted the Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art) of these magnates dreaming of being elected king.
