After outlining the historical background to the commission of these works, their form and content are analysed. The paintings have been presented here for the first time in the context of the artist’s entire oeuvre. The consideration of the Kock painting, destroyed in 1939, would not have been possible without discovering its archival photograph. Much attention has been paid to Fr Giorgio Maria Lascaris who, according to the findings of the present writer, commissioned the paintings for the Cathedral of Lutsk, and thanks to whose recommendation – as can be assumed – Kuntz received prestigious commissions from Henry Benedict Stuart, Duke of York and Cardinal-Bishop of Frascati in the 1770s. date: 2021 id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/artdok.00009432 collection: c-4 ppn_swb: 1917135912 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-artdok-94325 language: eng bibsort: SOBCZYNSKATHEPAINTIN2021 full_text_status: public publication: Artibus et Historiae volume: 84 pagerange: 247-264 oa_type: green laender: LOs title_lat: The paintings by Thaddaus Kuntz (Kuntze) from Kock and Luts themen: T25 themen: T14 citation: Sobczyńska-Szczepańska, Mirosława (2021) The paintings by Thaddäus Kuntz (Kuntze) from Kock and Lutsk.
