The article reveals how the royal trip to Kaniów in 1787 would have looked like, depicting the extent to which contemporaneous citizens received the monarch during his journey in their towns and homes. Reference is made to the forms of ceremonial architecture raised especially to greet the king’s arrival, including the triumphal arch at Lachowce from the same year in accordance with a design by August Dobrogost Jabłoński and the gateway before Potok by Jan Lindsey. Fireworks, concerts and theatrical performances would have been arranged for the king’s entertainment. The culmination to the journey involved meeting the tsarina on her galley on the River Dnieper on 6th May 1787, for which the royal architect, Jakub Kubicki, prepared a ceremony in honour of her majesty, while illuminations and firework displays were put on depicting an obelisk bearing the tsarina’s name, to be followed by a further set of fireworks arranged to show an outline of Vitruvius.

The article concerns the never constructed villa of Izabela Branicka née Poniatowska on the grounds of King Stanisław Augustus’s Łazienki Park in Warsaw. Several drawings of this building are held in the collection of the Print Room of the Warsaw University Library. Their analyses to date have not been comprehensive and their research interpretations proved to be flawed. The actual author of the designs created between 1782 and 1783 (in three major, differing versions) was the architect Stanisław Zawadzki. The Classicist building, inspired by the Hôtel Guimard in Paris (1770–1772, by Claude-Nicolas Ledoux), was to be distinguished by its classical form and striking austerity. At the time of their creation, the designs were avant-garde to an extent unrivalled in the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania, and were intended to reveal Zawadzki’s unparalleled talent in his rivalry with Domenico Merlini.

Artykuł dotyczy niezrealizowanej willi Izabeli z Poniatowskich Branickiej na terenie stołecznych Łazienek króla Stanisława Augusta. Kilkanaście rysunków tej budowli zachowało się w zbiorach Gabinetu Rycin Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Warszawie. Dotychczasowe ich analizy nie były wyczerpujące, a interpretacje badawcze okazały się błędne. Rzeczywistym autorem projektów, tworzonych w latach 1782–1783 (w trzech zasadniczych, różniących się wersjach), był architekt Stanisław Zawadzki. Klasycystyczna budowla, inspirowana paryskim Hôtel Guimard (1770–1772, Claude-Nicolas Ledoux), miała wyróżniać się antykizującą formą i wyjątkową surowością. Projekty w chwili swego powstania były w sposób niedościgniony na ziemiach Rzeczypospolitej awangardowe, stanowić też miały dowód niepospolitego talentu Zawadzkiego w jego zawodowej rywalizacji z Dominikiem Merlinim.
