Życie i twórczość Łukasza Porębskiego (1594–1637). Nowe ustalenia i perspektywy badawcze
The Life and Work of Łukasz Porębski (1594–1637). New Findings and Research Perspectives

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the painter Łukasz Porębski, originally from Bydgoszcz, who worked in Cracow between ca. 1615 and 1637. Although his name appears in studies on painting in the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania in the first half of the 17th century, his work has so far not been analysed in depth. The aim of the article is to revise the data provided in specialist literature. A re-examination of the archives has made it possible to amend the painter’s biography and supplement it with hitherto unknown information concerning his professional activity and the graphic prototypes he applied in his work. Features of Porębski’s individual style have been determined on the basis of a stylistic analysis of works confirmed to be by his hand, allowing us to verify existing attributions, propose new ones and reject works erroneously ascribed to Porębski, some of which were linked to Tommaso Dolabella or Wojciech Podkora.
