Public law foundations appeared in the Polish law in the period between the First and the Second World Wars and since then, with the exception of a forty-year break in the times of communism, have been present in the state administration structure. At present, these are the Ossolinski Family National Institution (the Ossolineum) under the patronage of the President of Poland, the Public Opinion Research Centre (CBOS), and the Kornickie Institution (Polish: Zaklady Kornickie) under the honorary patronage of the President of Poland and the Primate of Poland. These foundations have been established on the basis of separate legal acts, equipped with property from the State, entrusted with public tasks and they are supervised by top government administration bodies. However, the lack of comprehensive regulations with regard to their legal status and application of the act on foundations in cases which are not regulated may lead to numerous problems in practice. The author presents the origins, specifics and legal basis of public law foundations' performance in Poland, indicating what changes should be introduced to the regulations in the area.

Concentration of the written and pictorial sources on the Reutter family of Banská Štiavnica forms the material part of the study, which aims not only at critical analysis, but also at an effort to reconstruct the culture and experience of a representative Central European individual in the late 16th and first half of the 17th centuries. The text also attempts to grasp the methodological possibilities for interpreting historical sources reflecting the cultural experience of the urban Lutheran elites in the mining towns of central Slovakia, especially with regard for models of patronage, and not only in the field of fine art and craft, but also of early modern education and literature. The study also tries to answer the question of whether the historiography of art offers a viable and open way to interpret the form and meaning of contemporary culture for a specific person from a particular social group, if we work with textual sources or only with a limited sample of surviving works coming mainly from artistic crafts rather than high art.

The interwar years are a very distinctive period in the modern history of Lithuania. Once an idle province of the Russian Empire, Lithuania experienced particularly intensive and swift growth. In culture, as in other spheres, radical changes occurred that transformed the state into a modern European country. When we talk about the artistic life of independent Lithuania it is impossible to dissociate it from its organizational and institutional aspects. The struggle of artistic views and ideas was inseparable from the discussions on the problems of the artist's social status, possible forms of artistic patronage and other similar questions. Despite noticing the weak powers of state patronage, artists did not reject their own artistic conception brought from the 19th century. On the other hand, very few of the older generation understood in which direction the attitude of society towards art and its function was moving. Only when the Lithuanian President himself announced, during a congress of the ruling Tautininkai (Nationalists) party, that 'art and science had to have practical significance, they had to serve the nation', thereby stating clearly for what the state was ready to pay artists, the ideal of romanticism began to be reconsidered. With a few exceptions, artists could not earn a living from their art alone. The structure of state commissions and tenders, copyrights and the social status of artists - all these urgent problems could be resolved only by the united efforts and forces of the whole art community. The vision of a modern state was combined with the characteristics of the country's historical past particularly emphasizing the grandeur of the Middle Ages. The Lithuanian state began to understand the importance of art for the representation and propaganda of the image of the country. On the other hand, the brevity of the national culture and insufficient possibilities for its patronage did not allow for different artistic trends to develop and for a critical discourse to appear.
