Abstrakt

The article analyzes the Holy Trinity and Marian Columns sculpted by Anton Jörg and encour­ages further research on the artist by identifying elements in his work that directly or indirectly reference epidemics and natural disasters in Silesia and the Kłodzko Region in the early modern period. Six histor­ical monuments are examined in the article: the Marian column in Otmuchów attributed to Jörg and his artistic style, Holy Trinity columns in Śrem, Kamieniec Ząbkowicki, and Bystrzyca Kłodzka, and Marian columns in Śrem and Głubczyce. These monuments are discussed in chronological order, and the fea­tures characteristic of Jörg’s style are identified. In the 1980s, Polish art historian Konstanty Kalinowski made the greatest contribution to research on Anton Jörg in his seminal study of Baroque sculpture in Silesia. One of the chapters contains a brief analysis of Marian and Holy Trinity Columns and an overview of the artist’s craftsmanship. This article builds on previous research and encourages further study of Anton Jörg and his work.
