Summary/Abstract: Both Lviv churches of the Trinitarians: of the Holy Trinity and of St Nicholas were given high-quality artistic Late Baroque décor and furnishing which have for long incited scholars interest. In the works conducted in 1750-1758 in the first of the churches Katarzyna Brzezina identified the participation of e.g. Stanisław Stroiński, Johann Georg Pinsel, and Bernard Meretyn. The previously unused source information demonstrates that they played a key role in the project, conducting the first in Lviv complex transformation of a church interior in the Rococo spirit. Its results have not survived, contrary to the stucco decoration and furnishing of the Church of St Nicholas executed mainly in the 1740s and 70s. A thorough analysis of their form and of written sources has allowed to verify contradictory attributions and datings, abounding in the literature on the subject.
