Abstracts

The collection acquired in 1965-66 by the Museum of Tarnowskie Góry comprises 24 mainly unsigned paintings dating from between the 16th and 20th centuries. These works were made into a single group by the longstanding vicar of the town’s Saint Peter and Paul parish, father and doctor Michał Lewek, a national and regional activist working from 1911 until 1920 in Berlin, where it may be assumed he came into possession of the most valuable paintings. A key figure involved in the collection’s establishing was Szczęsny Dettloff, a Poznań university professor with whom Lewek consulted in the question of every work purchased. The collection includes three excellent portraits: Man in a collar, connected with the workshop of Peter Paul Rubens; Man in a frilled collar, formerly attributed to Cornelis de Vos and Men in an interior (Portrait of doctor Hendrick van Deventer) painted by Thomas van der Wilt.
