Obrazy, Kopersztychy, Rysunki". Wyposażenie domu malarza królewskiego Jana Bogumiła Plerscha

The subject of the text are the furnishings present in the house of Jan Bogumił Plersch, a painter, main decorator of the Royal residences and theatre set designer. The integral part of the text is the inventory of the house, published for the first time in extenso, accompanied by a scholarly commentary. This document, kept at the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw, was written in 1786, while the artist was still alive (but after his wife’s death). So in a way the inventory can be treated as a list created by the painter himself. He must have taken the assessor around his house in Nalewki Street (land registry no. 2254) in Warsaw.
