Marble Inventory of Sebastian Sala's Cracow Workshop from 1653. Remarks on the Sculptor's biography and His Last Commissions

Summary/Abstract: Based on the previously unknown inventory of marbles found in the sculpture workshop of Seba- stian Sala and additional sources the knowledge of his biography and artistic activity has been complemented. The location of Sala’s workshop in the north-western Zwinger by Cracow’s S3aw- kowska Gate has been ascertained, and the profile of his output has been discussed. The artist has been attributed a pair of black-marble portals from the Collegiate Church of St Joseph in Klimon- tów and the early-Baroque portal from the Cathedral Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Sandomierz. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that not long before his death Seba- stian Sala was executing a commission for Primate Marcin £ubieñski, most likely working on his tomb for the Gniezno Cathedral. Also, it has been confirmed that the artist received a commission from Crown Marshal Stefan Koryciñski, which can be associated with Koryciñski’s plan, finally unaccomplished, to provide sculptural décor to the chapel by the Church of St Stephen in Cracow.
