In the 1870s, during renovation works in the crypts under the Wawel Cathedral, which were carried out in order to adapt them for visitors, a detailed inventory was created of the sarcophagi from the Royal Tombs. This documentation, which is now stored in the collections of the Jagiellonian University Museum, was initiated by Prof. Józef Łepkowski, a researcher of exceptional merit in the inventory and documentation of historical objects. Pencil drawings, watercolors and pencil frottages were made by Kraków painters and students of the School of Fine Arts. Each of the renovated coffins was meticulously documented in every detail and it also includes reproductions and frottages of memorial plaques. These materials constitute an invaluable base, both as an iconographic source for the art historian and for the conservator during conservation activities. They were used during the recent restoration and conservation of the metal royal sarcophagi carried out by the monument conservation workshop of Agnieszka and Tomasz Trzos. Analysis of the preserved iconographic sources collected by an art historian and of the material research performed by restorers permitted not only the reconstruction of the original color scheme of the royal sarcophagi, but also allowed the restoration of Sigismund II Augustus’ coffin to its primary form. The effects of this conservation work attest to the crucial role of a meticulously prepared documentation.

Znajdujące się w kryptach katedry na Wawelu metalowe sarkofagi królewskie to nie tylko wysokiej klasy dzieła sztuki o interesującym programie ideowym, ale także zabytki o ogromnej wartości historycznej. Prowadzony od 2015 r. program konserwacji i restauracji monarszych trumien jest okazją do ponownych studiów nad tymi obiektami. Artykuł prezentuje przeprowadzone w 2016 r. prace konserwatorskie i restauracyjne przy cynowych sarkofagach Zygmunta Augusta i Anny Jagiellonki, koncentrując się na dokonanych podczas tych zabiegów rekonstrukcjach oraz zastosowanych przez konserwatorów nowatorskich, autorskich rozwiązaniach konstrukcyjnych. Przedstawiono również historię obu zabytków, dokonywane przez lata przekształcenia i naprawy. Prezentacji badań towarzyszy próba uzupełnienia, m.in. o program heraldyczny, odczytanego przez Barbarę Tuchołkę-Włodarską programu ikonograficznego sarkofagu Zygmunta Augusta oraz przedstawienie po raz pierwszy treści ideowych sarkofagu Anny Jagiellonki.

The metal royal sarcophagi located in the Wawel Cathedral crypts are not only high-class works of art with an interesting ideological program, but also monuments of great historical value. Program of conservation and restoration of the royal coffins, initiated in 2015, is an opportunity to re-examine these objects. The article presents conservation and restoration works carried out in 2016 at the tin sarcophagi of Sigismund Augustus and Anna Jagiellon, focusing on the reconstructions performed during these works and the innovative, original construction solutions applied by conservators. It also discusses the history of both monuments, their transformation and repairs made over the years. The research presentation is accompanied by an attempt to supplement the iconographic program of Sigismund Augustus’ sarcophagus, deciphered by Barbara Tuchołka-Włodarska, with, inter alia, a heraldic program, and the first-ever explanation of ideological content of Anna Jagiellon’s sarcophagus.
