The Risen Christ - 16th-century epitaph of the Lvov Sholtsia-Voltovich family

Lviv | Ukraine

The epitaph of the Szolce-Wolfowicz family is a stone relief which depicts the figure of the Risen Christ against the background of Jerusalem and Golgotha. Below are two rows of kneeling, praying figures (men on the left, women on the right). The bas-relief is embedded in the central outer wall of the presbytery of the Latin Cathedral in Lviv . Above it are mural paintings depicting a portrait of the Lviv bourgeois Wojciech Domagalicz and a copy of the image of the Domagalicz Mother of God. This valuable monument of 16th-century Lviv sculpture has been placed under the conservation and restoration care of the Cultural Heritage Foundation. In 2018, conservation was carried out by the team of Andrzej Kazberuk. The work was financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. Made at the end of the 16th century, the bas-relief is a fragment of the chapel of the Szolc-Wolfowicz family, located in the old church cemetery, which was demolished in the 1860s. The Szoltice-Wolfowicz family was one of the most important bourgeois families of Lviv at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. The most famous representative of the family was the painter Josef Szoltice-Wolfowicz, who painted a picture of Our Lady of Grace (ca. 1598-1599) in memory of his deceased niece Catherine Domagaliczówna. In time, this painting was recognised as miraculous. It was in front of this painting that King Jan Kazimierz took his "Lvov vows" in 1656.

Time of origin:
