Mistrzowie reliefu

Translation of the title: Masters of the relief. The most precious plaquettes from the former collection of Andrzej Ciechanowiecki. Bas-relief metal plaques are a lesser-known, but noteworthy field of art. Such objects were made of various metals - gold, silver, copper, lead, but usually bronze, sometimes gilded, to enhance the decorative effect. All the works, shown at the exhibition in the Castle for the first time, were collected by Andrzej S. Ciechanowiecki (1924-2015), an art historian, antiquarian and collector, from 1958. Exhibition: The Royal Castle in Warsaw - Museum, Warsaw, Poland (06.10.2020 - 05.01.2021).
