Text for the Leonardo Da Vinci Society LA BELLA PRINCIPESSA and THE WARSAW SFORZIAD Circumstances of Rebinding and Excision of the Portrait Katarzyna Woźniak 10.05.2015 In the study titled La Bella Principessa and the Warsaw Sforziad, published in January 2011, Professor Kemp provided evidence that the portrait of Bianca Sforza was a part of an illuminated book printed on vellum - La Sforziada by Giovannni Simonetta, stored in the National Library in Warsaw1. The excision took place, most probably, during the process of rebinding. This was done meticulously, as his paper showed, although the knife slipped at near the bottom of the left edge2. At that moment, the portrait and the book were separated from each other and ceased to share the same fortune. 1. Images indicating that portrait of La Bella Principessa was part of a bound volume Author: Pascal Cotte My research initiated as a result of this discovery shows that the most probable date of rebinding of the Warsaw copy of La Sforziada was the turn of the 18th and 19th century3. The following text is an introduction to the first general analysis of the problems concerning 1 Martin Kemp and Pascal Cotte, La Bella Principessa and the Warsaw Sforziad (2010), The Leonardo da Vinci Society: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/hosted/leonardo/#MM 2 M.

The findings will be extensively presented in a forthcoming book4. 2. La Sforziada. Book cover – front and two inscriptions by a different hand on the inserted sheet of paper5 The widely quoted, yet unproved theory is that La Sforziada was brought to Poland by Bona Sforza in 1518 on the occasion of her wedding with Sigismund I6. An alternative provenance will be introduced by Prof. Wright in the same publication7. Equally uncertain is whether this copy of the Italian book was part of the book collection of her son, King Sigismund II Augustus' (1520-1572) book collection. Several decades later, it was definitely a part of the collection of Jan Zamoyski (1542-1605), Royal Secretary, Great Royal Chancellor and Great Royal Hetman, and entered the Academy of Zamosc, which he established in the ideal city of Zamosc in 1594. The Sforziada was without doubt a part of the Library of the Academy. Current research has revealed that the first mention of this volume appears in an inventory of the Library of the Academy made in 1675; the next listing is in 1766. It remained a part of this collection until late 18th century, that is, until the Academy was closed down, as a result of the gradual and 4 This book will also contain meticulous analysis of the illumination by Giovanni Pietro Birago written by D.

Photo credit: Wojciech Gorgolewski The beginning of the 19th century brought numerous changes which will constitute the main topic of this paper. The most comprehensive and in-depth revival of the idea of the academic centre in Zamosc was conceived by Stanisław Zamoyski (1775-1856), the 12th Lord of Zamosc. As a bibliophile, who collected rare books and precious documents he envisioned a thoroughgoing cultural and economic reform of the Estate, including the restoration of his family seat in Zamosc and the reestablishment and revival of traditions of the once prestigious Zamoyski Academy. Hippaeum Zamoscianum and its library laid at the symbolic heart of the Count's cultural undertakings and was the most complex renovation since the 16th century. Although the Library of the Academy was formed in 1594, it is Count Stanislaw Zamoyski who, two centuries later, is described in literature as the actual founder of the Library of the 8 Part of the book collection may have been separated shortly before or after the Academy was closed down and transferred to the palace of the Lords of Zamosc. This subject will be discussed in the mentioned book. Entailed Estate of Zamość. 7. Stanislaw Kostka Zamoyski by Jean-Baptiste Augustin (1759-1832) Painted between 1803 and 1804, oil on canvas, 40×35cm Lost9 It remains uncertain whether it was him or his elder brother, Aleksander August Zamoyski, the 11th Lord of Zamosc in the years between 1792 and 1800, who ordered Mr Benoit, the concierge of the Academy, to create a catalogue of the library dated 180010. La Sforziada cannot be recognised in his catalogue, but it may have been concealed by the many oversimplifications. An alternative explanation is that Sforziad was part of the private library in the castle of Zamosc, the family seat of lords of the estate11. The beginning of the 19th century also witnessed also a significant attempt to unify the most valuable Polish aristocratic book collections – of the Zamoyski and Ossolinski families. From 1795 onwards, the year of the third and final partition of the Res Publica Serenissima - the Most Serene Republic - by Prussia, Russia and Austria - Earl Jozef Maksymilian Ossolinski (1748-1826) lived in Vienna. He was an erudite, bibliophile and a passionate art collector, whose book holdings consisted of almost thirty thousand volumes. At the end of his life he intended to bring them back to his home country, but since his book collection would have been endangered in partitioned Poland, as his collections were endangered by uncertain political situation, he was searching for a new and safe location. 9 Listed in the national catalogue of the objects lost in result of the Second World War: http://dzielautracone.gov.pl/katalog-strat-wojennych/obiekt/?obid=35636 10 The 11th Lord of Zamosc passed away suddenly and untimely in 1800 being only 28 years old. 11 One of the details that may confirm this theory is the partly obliterated inscription in Sforziad which will be discussed by me in detail in the mentioned book. 8.

Image source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Initially, Count Ossolinski intended to choose Cracow as the most suitable site for his extensive collections, but later, after he had asked Prince Adam Czartoryski (1734-1823) for advice, who heartily recommended Stanislaw, he decided on Zamosc - already the seat of another magnificent library12. The final agreement with Count Ossolinski regarding the location of the united libraries was reached in 1804 and a number of books from his collection still carry a bookplate with this date13. However, numerous preparations on the part of Count Zamoyski took place before this date. The Count intensively searched for faculty to join the former academy, which he turned into the High School of Zamosc, an institution whose scope was better suited for the town at the turn of the centuries. The printing house in the Academy had already been renovated by him in 1802. By 1804 he had not found a suitable librarian, but continued correspondence shows how much effort he put into finding the most suitable candidate in Europe, with the help of a number of distinguished scholars. It needs to be underlined that Stanislaw Zamoyski was not only taking care of the collections he already owned, but also put very intense efforts in purchasing new valuable manuscripts and early printed books with the help of agents and dealers in Europe and through extensive family connections14. 12 T. Makowski, Biblioteka Jana Zamojskiego, kanclerza i hetmana wielkiego koronnego. Założenia projektu badawczego, Wokół Biblioteki Ordynacji Zamojskiej, Biblioteka Narodowa, p. 13 13 There are significantly fewer books marked with this ex libris and the year “1804” than there are those marked with "1815", like Sforziada. Extensive study regarding these bookplates, watermarks, leather cover and its decoration, as well as numbers and inscriptions added later to this volume will be discussed in the mentioned book. 14 “He wished not only to become acquainted with foreign libraries, museums, and bookstores, to make promising contacts, but also to make appropriate purchases, impressions, and notes which later would be helpful in the management of the properties in country"14. Quotation after K. Ajewski, Stanisława Kostki Zamoyskiego życie i działalność, Warszawa 2010. Eventually, after several years of intense preparations, the plans for the unification of the major Polish libraries were thwarted by the conquest of the fortress of Zamosc by the Austrian army on May 20th 1809. His attempts were the last, before the library was transferred to Warsaw in the same year, where it was established as the Library of the Estate of Zamosc, operating under the same name until 1944.

  • 3 LEONARDO Di Strinati Tancredi ING.Key
    THE WORKS OF ART IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL REPRODUCTION THE THEORETICAL BACKGROUND The Impossible Exhibitions project derives from an instance of cultural democracy that has its precursors in Paul Valéry, Walter Benjamin and André Malraux. The project is also born of the awareness that in the age of the digital reproducibility of the work of art, the concepts of safeguarding and (cultural and economic) evaluation of the artistic patrimony inevitably enter not only the work as itself, but also its reproduction: “For a hundred years here, as soon as the history of art has escaped specialists, it has been the history of what can be photographed” (André Malraux). When one artist's work is spread over various museums, churches and private collections in different continents, it becomes almost impossible to mount monograph exhibitions that give a significant overall vision of the great past artist's work. It is even harder to create great exhibitions due to the museum directors’ growing – and understandable – unwillingness to loan the works, as well as the exorbitant costs of insurance and special security measures, which are inevitable for works of incalculable value. Impossible Exhibitions start from these premises. Chicago, Loyola University Museum of Art, 2005 Naples, San Domenico Maggiore, 2013/2014 THE WORKS OF ART IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL REPRODUCTION THE PROJECT In a single exhibition space, Impossible Exhibitions present a painter's entire oeuvre in the form of very high definition reproductions, making use of digital technology permitting reproductions that fully correspond to the original works. Utmost detail resolution, the rigorously 1:1 format (Leonardo's Last Supper reproduction occupies around 45 square meters!), the correct print tone – certified by a renowned art scholar – make these reproductions extraordinarily close to the originals.

    Izabela Fleming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 06/02/2007 05:30 PM Izabela Fleming From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Izabela Czartoryska) Princess Izabela Czartoryska (née Countess Fleming) (1746-1835) was a Polish noble lady, writer, collector of art, founder of the Izabela Fleming first Polish museum. She was the daughter of Count Jerzy Detloff Fleming and Princess Antonina Czartoryska. She married Prince Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski on November 18, 1761 in Wołczyn. It is rumoured that she had an affair with the Russian ambassador to Poland, Nikolai Vasilyevich Repnin [1] (http://books.google.com/books?ie=UTF- Noble Fleming Family Coat of Fleming Arms Jerzy Detloff Fleming Parents Antonina Czartoryska Adam Kazimierz Consorts Czartoryski with Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski Teresa Czartoryska Maria Anna Czartoryski Children Adam Jerzy Czartoryski Konstanty Adam Czartoryski Gabriela Czartoryska Zofia Czartoryska Date of March 3, 1746 Birth Place of Warsaw, Poland Birth Date of July 15, 1835 Death Place of Wysock, Poland Death 8&vid=ISBN0195161009&id=oMpmAjRFh88C&pg=PA210&lpg=PA210&dq=repnin+Czartoryski&vq=Repnin+illegitimate+son&sig=wcrYcFQ3pRoLjA_WFYokW4nTv7M) . In Paris in 1772 she met Benjamin Franklin, one of the leaders of the American Revolution, and the French philosophers Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Voltaire, who at the time brought new ideas to the old order. In 1775 she completely transformed (together with her husband) the Czartoryski Palace at Puławy into an intellectual and political meeting place. Izabela discovered the talent of the young painter Aleksander Orlowski and financed him. In 1784 she jointed the Patriotic Party. After the Kosciuszko Uprising two of her sons were taken by Catharine of Russia as political hostages.

  • Kochański and the Jesuits
    ORGANON 14 LA SCIENCE BAROQUE ET WILANÓW Ludwik Grzebień (Poland) KOCHAŃSKI AND THE JESUITS Adam Kochański belongs to those Polish Jesuits about whom we do not have much information. The works he devoted himself to extend beyond the usual limits of the work undertaken by the Jesuits, they were not very striking, and did not afford the college chroniclers the material they required. Besides, frequent changes of his permanent place of residence did not promote his glorification in domestic annals. The few archival documents were destroyed or scattered as a result of the suppression of the Society of Jesus, wars and national cataclysms. None the less, it is possible today to trace fairly clearly the changes in his life, to present his works, acquaint oneself with his troubles and problems, and finally to become acquainted with his influence upon the environment in which he lived and worked1. Kochański was born on the 5th August, 16312 in Dobrzyń district (or in Dobrzyń itself). He completed his secondary education in the Jesuit College in Toruń where in the lower classes he took grammar, syntax, poetics and rhetoric3. The Jesuit College in Toruń was not especially remarkable at that time. But Copernican traditions were strong in Toruń and there was a well established Protestant School there during this period. On the 24th August, 1652 Kochański entered the noviciate of the Society of Jesus in Wilno4. Why was Wilno his choice? The Jesuits had two provinces at this time. The Polish one, to which Toruń belonged, and the Lithuanian with Wilno and Warsaw. The noviciates were only in Wilno and Cracow.

    Zeszyty Naukowe Towarzystwa Doktorantów UJ Nauki Humanistyczne, Nr 6 (1/2013) ANETA KWIATEK (Uniwersytet Jagielloński) LITERATURA I SZTUKA W KATALOGU PAMIĄTEK ZŁOŻONYCH W DOMU GOTYCKIM W PUŁAWACH IZABELI CZARTORYSKIEJ. REKONESANS I Katalog pamiątek złożonych w Domu Gotyckim w Puławach jest ukoronowa- niem działalności Izabeli Czartoryskiej, związanej z prowadzonym przez nią opisem zbiorów muzealnych. Dzieło ma formę trzytomowego ilustrowanego rękopisu. Ilustracje do niego, często kopie zmieszczonych w Domu Gotyckim portretów, wykonał Józef Richter, malarz związany z książęcą parą, zwłaszcza po roku 1804, w którym Polskę opuścił Jan Piotr Norblin. Zanim dzieło Czar- toryskiej uzyskało ostateczny kształt, miało dwie wersje wstępne i formę skró- coną, będącą inwentarzem pamiątek. Pierwszy wariant wstępny to wersja francuskojęzyczna: Cataloque historique et détaillé des objets réunis à la Maison Gotique à Puławy, achevé l’an 1809, drugi stanowi jej tłumaczenie: Katalog rozumowany Domu Gotyckiego. Wersją będącą tylko rejestrem pamią- tek opisanych w dziele Czartoryskiej jest Poczet pamiątek zachowanych w Domu Gotyckim w Puławach, z którego Przedmowy wynika, że w roku wydania książki, a więc w 1828, Katalog pamiątek złożonych w Domu Gotyc- kim w Puławach był dziełem ukończonym, powstającym, jak większość przy- gotowywanych przez Czartoryską opisów pamiątek, z myślą o publikacji1. Praktykę opisu pamiątek rozpoczęła Czartoryska wraz z powstaniem Świą- tyni Sybilli i Domu Gotyckiego. Sam zamysł utworzenia zbiorów Świątyni 1 Spis wszystkich wersji opisów pamiątek Domu Gotyckiego wraz z sygnaturami sporządził Z. Żygulski. Zob. Z.

    Jan Zamoyski Dzieciostwo i młodośd Jan Sariusz Zamoyski urodził się 19 marca 1542 roku w Skokówce. Był synem Stanisława Zamoyskiego i Anny Herburt-Zamoyskiej. Uczył się w szkole katedralnej w Krasnymstawie, a następnie wyjechał na naukę do Paryża. Studiował też w Strasburgu i Padwie. W 1563 został wybrany rektorem akademii padewskiej. Tam też napisał po łacinie swe dzieło „De Senatu Romano Libri II” („O Senacie Rzymskim Księgi Dwie”). Dwór królewski i elekcja viritim Po powrocie z Włoch został przyjęty na dwór królewski w Krakowie jako sekretarz Zygmunta Augusta. Sumiennie wykonywał swoje obowiązki takie jak np. redagowanie listów i pism władcy, uczestniczenie w obradach senatu czy porządkowanie archiwum skarbca. Dzięki temu otrzymywał od króla kolejne majątki ziemskie. Po śmierci władcy w 1572 roku, Zamoyski wysunął koncepcję elekcji viritim. Był przejęty sytuacją Rzeczypospolitej i chciał, aby cała szlachta decydowała o wyborze nowego króla. Elekcja została przyjęta, a Zamoyski jako przywódca szlachty stał się aktywnym politykiem. Tron na krótki czas objął Henryk Walezy, a następnie Stefan Batory, który uczynił Zamoyskiego podkanclerzym koronnym i swym doradcą. Współpraca ze Stefanem Batorym Zamoyski pomagał królowi w realizacji jego śmiałych planów. 1 marca 1578 roku został kanclerzem wielkim koronnym. Wkrótce stał się także potężnym magnatem i zmienił swoje poglądy polityczne w kierunku władzy monarszej. Zaczął naukę sztuki wojennej, a od 1579 r. uczestniczył w wojnie z Moskwą. W 1580 r. stał się założycielem Zamościa, gdzie później utworzył Akademię Zamojską. 11 sierpnia 1581 r. został mianowany hetmanem wielkim koronnym. Po zwycięskiej wojnie z Moskwą doprowadził do traktatu pokojowego. Opozycja do władzy W 1586 r. umarł Stefan Batory, a nowym królem miał zostad Zygmunt Waza.
