The Geography of “Lviv Rococo Sculpture” and Architecture in the Light of Recent Research

Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the issue of the artistic geography of “Lviv rococo sculpture” in the light of recent research and the latest findings, as well as the geography of architectural and sculptural works of a comprehensive nature. Plotted on a map, all the known and so far identified pieces from the circle of the so-called Lviv rococo sculpture give an indication of the actual territorial range reached by woodcarving workshops. An analysis of examples of a comprehensive nature, in turn, that is, complexes embracing architectural and sculptural works, makes it possible to outline their concentration, and this approach reveals, somewhat by contrast, the differences in the influence exerted by the Lviv milieu in the area of sculpture and in the area of architecture. This, in consequence, highlights the exceptional reach of the Lviv sculptor community, which in this respect was unique on the scale of the eighteenth-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
