The statue of Spytek Wawrzyniec Jordan and his family is located in the southern nave of St. Catherine’s Church in Cracow. He founded it for himself and the family. Spytek Wawrzyniec Jordan of Zakliczyn and Melsztyn, Cracow castellan, the first Senator in the Polish Kingdom, died on 11 March 1568. His monument is one of the most accomplished High Renaissance ones in Polish art. In the article, the dating of the statue of Jordans has been specified for a year before 1593 (on the grounds of the inscription on the tomb side). The attribution of the work to Santi Gucci is the result of its thorough analysis by the paper’s Author. The monument coincides with the first stage of Santi Gucci’s activity in Poland.
