Buczacka figura św. Jana Nepomucena autorstwa Jana Jerzego Pinsla

A roadside stone figure of St. John of Nepomuk, commissioned by local magnate Mikołaj Bazyli Potocki around 1750 and situated in Buczacz (now Ukraine), exemplifies the rich artistic legacy of Jan Jerzy Pinsel, a prominent Rococo sculptor from the Lviv school. This lesser-known work, part of Pinsel's collaboration with architect Bernard Meretyn, features intricate heraldic elements and inscriptions on its pedestal, offering insights into the saint's cult in the region and the cultural patronage of the time. The study also documents the sculpture's history, including its destruction and restoration, while highlighting the broader artistic flourishing of Lviv and surrounding areas during the mid-18th century, following periods of conflict that had previously diminished their cultural significance.
