Szczawno Zdrój - Opis:
- In the spa park at Szczawno-Zdrój near Wałbrzych stands a forgotten and uncared-for today sculpture representing a dog in actual size that has been hewn in sandstone. It is a portrait of the beloved great Dane that belonged to Prince George II who himself was a great patron of artists owning the Castle at Brzeg upon the Odra River. The sculpture in question constitutes a rather rare example of a Renaissance monument devoted to an animal. It was created prior to 1586 and according to every probability is the work of the Prince’s court sculptor, Michael Kramer. Unfortunately, to this sculpture none Polish scientific or poularizing publication has until now been devoted. The author reminds the long and lively history of that monument which after the year 1741 and prior to 1757 was transferred to Wszechświęta near Oleśnica. In the early 1840’s it has been moved to Szczawno but was situated in anther place. After the year 1918 the sculpture was placed within the rosary where it is standing still today. In view of extensive restoration carried out in the Castle of Brzeg in connection with the forthcoming 300th anniversary of death of the last Silesian ruler, a descendent of the Pyast family, which will be celebrated in 1975, the author advanced the proposal that the sculpture, after indispensable restoration, be transferred to its original localization, i.e. that in the corner of the first floor loggia of the rebuilt residence of princes at Brzeg.
