Unikalny Grób Chrystusa z drugiej połowy XVIII wieku w klasztorze klarysek w Starym Sączu (komunikat)

A unique monument has remained in the museum in the clarist convent of the saint Francis rule. This monument is a large-sized (almost 7x6,5 metres) Christ's grave, made of planks. The tomb was made in the years 1776-1777. Feliks Derysarz, a painter who worked in the convent at that period, might be considered its creator. The grave in Stary Sącz has a special character. Like a theatrical decoration, it consists of rows of smaller and smaller arcades, which have spaces for a Host and for a statue of lying Jesus. The whole of luxuriant rococo decoration is enriched by painted representations of Pieta, soldiers holding a vigil and a lamb. The grave in Stary Sącz, which was stili in use until recently, is a unique monument in Małopolska (a district of Poland), or even the whole Poland.
