Summary/Abstract: Marianna Lubomirska (1693-1729), born of Teofila Zas³awska-Ostrogska and Józef Karol Lubomirski, remains virtually unrecognized as a historic figure. The vast patronage activities she undertook also await acknowledgement and research. The specialist literature in the history of art makes mention of magnificent ornaments and splendour accompanying her funeral. The decoration was designed for the Discalced Carmelites’ church in Nowy Wis´nicz by the Reformed Franciscan Father Mateusz Osiecki. The literature also refers to the coffin portrait of the Princess, created by Jan Aleksander Trycjusz and the catafalque made by Franciszek Kolisz of Kolbuszowa. A lot of details concerning Princess Marianna Sanguszko are provided by the panegyric that was dedicated to her by the Discalced Carmelite Father Falêcki Hilariusz of the Most Holy Sacrament from the New Wis´nicz monastery. Marianna and her husband, Paweł Sanguszko, founded a church for Fathers Capuchins in Lublin. This is where remains of her heart are kept. The princess’s patronage activities gave rise to a lot of other religious foundations.
