The Church of Saints Peter and Paul at Antokol. Several Supplementary Remarks

Abstracts

EN

The inside of the Church of Sts Peter and Paul at Wilno’s Antokol features one of the richest stucco decorations in Europe executed in the last quarter of the 18 th c. Its ideological programme is unique in Europe, since the clue to its understanding can be found in the ship model made of glass crystals and suspended in the church’s dome, generally known to symbolize the Church. Archival records inform that the church’s founder Hetman Michał Kazimierz Pac was also planning to make the high altar of crystals. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1682, failing to implement this exceptionally ambitious concept. What remains of the planned altar is the figure of Risen Christ, moved to a niche in a chancel wall. The statute is a stucco version of Giambologna’s magnificent ‘flying’ Mercury, which the Antokol stuccatore Piotr Perti must have seen in Rome. The second statue moved to a niche in a chancel wall is the Madonna on a Dragon modelled on the painting by Pietro da Cortona and Cirro Ferri. Moreover, four pendentives with the Evangelists follow Italian paintings: two repeat Giovanni Lanfranco’s compositions from Rome’s Church of S. Agostino, the other two copy Mattia Preti’s drawing designs, currently kept at Naple’s Capodimonte
