The restrained and dispassionate in its expression decoration of the interior of Frederick II’s Tract in Wrocław (1751–1753) did not, as previously believed, result from economizing, but constituted an inherent element in the process of Rococo classicizing, at the time also spreading throughout monarch’s native France. Representing the Enlightenment frame of mind, Frederick II appreciated Palladio’s architecture; the Wrocław facility’s architect and designer of its interior decoration Johann Boumann derived predilection for rational-form architecture from his native Netherlands, and the author of the sculpture decoration Johann Michel Hoppenhaupt had preference for symmetrical forms. Furthermore, masonic motifs appeared in the iconographic programme of the Tract’s Library. However, a broad margin for Rococo fantasy was reserved in some of the still lifes (Augustin Dubuisson) in overdoors and panneaux.

Powściągliwa i chłodna w wyrazie dekoracja wnętrz Traktu Fryderyka II we Wrocławiu (1751–1753) nie wynikała, jak dotychczas sądzono, tylko ze względów oszczędnościowych, lecz wpisywała się w proces klasycyzacji rokoka, ogarniający w tym czasie również jego ojczyznę – Francję. Sam Fryderyk II reprezentował orientację oświeceniową i cenił architekturę Palladia, projektant architektury i dekoracji wnętrz wrocławskiego Traktu – Johann Boumann ze swej rodzimej Holandii wyniósł zamiłowanie do architektury racjonalnej w wyrazie, a wykonawca dekoracji rzeźbiarskiej, Johann Michel Hoppenhaupt preferował formy symetryczne. W programie ikonograficznym Biblioteki Traktu pojawią się też motywy masońskie. Natomiast szeroki margines dla rokokowej fantazji zagwarantowano w niektórych z martwych natur (Augustin Dubuisson) z supraport i panneaux.

A review of the baroque iconography of various orders of the knights of the Cross (inter alia with the red heart, with the red star) reveals that their imagery was based on the motives and scenes typical of Christian art – like the Wood of Cross, its founders (St. Helene, St. Macarius) and defenders (Constantine the Great, Heraclius, holy knights). However, the study of written sources created by these communities (legends, historiography and panegyrics) reveals that these widespread themes reflected not only their piety, but also contained significant political allusions connected with their position in the ecclesiastical and secular hierarchy. The aim of this paper is to describe this phenomenon on the selected examples of the baroque iconography of the Canons of the Holy Sepulchre (called the Knights with the double Red Cross or the Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre) in Poland (Miechow, Lezajsk, Przeworsk, Gorzno or Chelm on the Raba).

The aim of this paper is to present the report on the journey of Cardinal Friedrich of Hessen-Darmstadt from Rome to Wrocław, undertaken in 1676 to assume governorship of Silesia and real power over the diocese of Wrocław. The report, published in this city soon after the completion of his journey, is now preserved in the Old Prints Department of the Wrocław University Library. This source contributes new facts from the biography of the cardinal – the founder of the famous St. Elisabeth Chapel alongside the Cathedral of Wrocław, decorated with statues sculpted in Rome. During his journey to Silesia, Friedrich of Hessen-Darmstadt stayed with his retinue in Loreto, Verona and Trento, entertained everywhere with great pomp and ceremony. Then he went to Vienna, where he took part in imperial audiences and was granted the title “Durchlauchtigst”. At the end of his journey he went to Nysa and from there to Wrocław. From the art history point of view this travelogue contributes information about the “occasional architecture” and the decoration of the churches in Nysa and Wrocław, liturgical vestments and vessels, and about costumes and vehicles of Silesian dignitaries. From the literature on the subject we know that on the occasion of the arrival of the cardinal to Wrocław three new doors to the local cathedral were founded. The main entrance doors were decorated with relief depicting Jacob’s Dream and Joseph in a Well. In the light of the appropriate biblical quotations and commentaries on them these scenes illustrate the idea of the gate to the heavenly Jerusalem as well as the symbolical transition from the sphere of death to the realm of life.

The University Library in Wrocław has a collection of manuscripts documenting some of the events following the promulgation of the secularisation edict by the King of Prussia, Frederick William III, on 30 October 1810, under which most catholic church institutions in Silesia, especially numerous monasteries, were dissolved. The five bound volumes of files, known as the Büsching Papers, contain: – correspondence: original letters or copies (mainly between commissioner J. G. G. Büsching, Central Secularisation Commission and special commissioners, mostly concerning organisational and financial matters); – inventories of former monastery archives, libraries and art collections; – Büsching’s protocols and notes concerning organisational and financial matters as well as movable items found in monasteries, which were of some value to science, museums, libraries or archives (e.g. numismatic objects, archaeological objects). Despite the fact that the Büsching Papers are an archive source known to scholars studying Silesian history and art, Büsching’s illegible writing has hindered access to the contents of the documents. The present inventory of the Büsching Papers is an attempt to shed some light on the documents; its aim is to provide a preliminary overview of the contents of the five German-language volumes, to simplify the search for specific documents and to encourage scholars to carry out an in-depth analysis of the manu - scripts in their research work.

The present study is to provide a concise analysis of and present (in extenso) fragments of the so-called "Büsching Papers" dealing with the Norbertine Monastery in Wrocław. They include Büsching’s First report on the seizure of objects kept in the Monastery of St. Vincent in Wrocław (8 January 1811), Inventory of art collections and manuscripts as well as selected letters associated with these actions. The sources contain information not only about the contents and organisation of the library and the archives, but also about their location and furnishings. In addition, they contain details of the seizure of these resources. The inventory of art collections includes paintings and reliefs as well as richly illustrated books devoted to art and, in particular, the history and theory of architecture. Like in the report, there are attempts here to establish the authors of the most outstanding paintings (e.g. Salvatore Rosa, Michael Leopold Willmann).
