Jakub Labinger – wstępne uwagi na temat jego œuvre

This article presents the output of Jakub Labinger, an engraver who was active in Kraków, Warsaw and Lviv between 1726 and 1767. Among other things, the article presents a re-compiled catalogue of the artist’s works, now significantly expanded in comparison to that which was previously used in academic literature. Nearly 90 engravings can now be attributed to Labinger, which makes him the main figure, after Jan Józef Filipowicz, of the Lviv artistic community. This article discusses the main areas of Labinger’s activity, emphasising the fact that he mainly received commissions from religious orders. The issue of his copying of patterns used in Western Europe (mainly in Augsburg) is addressed separately.
