Before the outbreak of WW II, the works of world
art collected at the Wilanów Palace were considered to be
the largest private collection in the Polish territories. Just the
very collection of painting featured 1.200 exhibits. Apart from
them the Wilanów collection contained historic furniture, old
coins, textiles, artistic craftsmanship items, drawings, and
prints, pottery, glassware, silverware, bronzes, sculptures,
as well as mementoes of Polish rulers. Already in the first
weeks of the German occupation, assigned officials selected
the most precious art works from the Wilanów collections,
and included them in the Sichergestellte Kunstwerke im
Generalgouvernement Catalogue. The publication presented
the most precious cultural goods secured by the Germans
in the territory of occupied Poland. It included 76 items: 29 paintings and 47 artistic craftsmanship objects. In 1943,
the majority of the works included in the quoted Catalogue
were transferred to Cracow. A year later, the most valuable
exhibits from Wilanów were evacuated to Lower Silesia. What
remained in Cracow was only a part of the collection relocated
from Wilanów. The chaos of the last weeks preceding the
fall of the Third Reich caused that many art works from the
Wilanów collection are considered war losses. Among many
objects, included in the above Catalogue, there are several
Wilanów paintings: Portrait of a Man by Bartholomeus van
der Helst, Portrait of a Married Couple by Pieter Nason,
Allegory of Architecture, Painting, and Sculpture by Pompeo
Batoni, Allegorical Scene in Landscape by Paris Bordone, and
The Assumption of Mary by Charles Le Brun.
