Wolfgang von Rothkirch und Panthen had functions of a duke counselor and a starost on the court of Georg Rudolph, duke of Liegnitz and Brieg. Through the eyes of his contemporaries – what was mentioned in Simon Grunaeus’s, rector of St. Mary Church in Liegnitz, funeral sermon – he was seen both as a person of great knowledge and a magnanimous, honest and hard-working man. The epitaph devoted to Rothkirch, placed in a little village church in Makowice near Świdnica, with its form and ideological programme echoing hierogliphics fascination of those times, perfectly matched humanistic currents present at the duke court. The monument was created in ca. 1620 most probably by Georg Weber, one of the most innovative sculptors in the Liegnitz milieu. The dominant role of words as the main bearer of the dead’s praise, as well as the used emblems showing vanitative contents, which – with high probability – may be assumed as Simon Grunaeus’s work, accentuate the monument’s individual character, and also allow us to see Wolfgang von Rothkirch’s epitaph as an elite work, aimed at educated circles of recipients
