View of the castle in Łańcut

View of Łańcut Castle from the east The photograph shows the elevations of the 17th-century eastern wing and towers: north-eastern and south-eastern of Łańcut Castle. In front of the castle, there is a view of the Italian Garden, established around 1900. The photograph was taken from the south-east side. The garden is decorated with stone and ceramic vases with blooming flowers, and a fountain pool is visible. The lower elevation of the castle wing and the south-east tower are covered with vines. The corner between the castle façade and the tower is filled with a cluster of shrubs. 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).
