The exposition will be presented in one of the museums of Lviv. The sculpture will be returned to the top of the Boim chapel after the restoration of the dome. This was reported by Lilia Onyshchenko, adviser to the mayor of Lviv on cultural heritage preservation.<\/p>\n
The Sorrowful Christ sculpture from the Boim chapel was dismantled at the end of 2021, as it was in a state of disrepair and needed restoration. The figure was transferred to the restoration workshop. “They planned to restore the figure of Christ here. A special laser device was to be brought from Poland for its cleaning. But the war started, they could not bring this device. Then it was proposed to transport the sculpture to Warsaw. Transported, conducted detailed research, restored. Also added missing elements, including the halo and crown of thorns. The works were financed by the Polish Polonica Foundation,” Liliya Onishchenko said.<\/p>\n
After the restoration, from October 24 to November 25, the sculpture of the Sorrowful Christ was exhibited at an exhibition in one of the galleries in Warsaw.<\/p>\n
We will remind you that the figure of Jesus Christ on the dome of the Boim family tomb in Lviv was installed around 1597-1605. Wroc\u0142aw builder Andriy Bemer, an outstanding sculptor of Central and Eastern Europe, took part in its creation. The monument is unique and has great architectural and artistic value. In the stone under the two-meter sculpture of Christ are carved the words: “Passer by, stop and think if your suffering is greater than mine.”<\/p>\n
In 2021, the limestone sculpture of the Sorrowful Christ weighing 280 kilograms, over 400 years old, was dismantled for the first time in history from the dome of the Boim chapel in Lviv due to an active process of destruction.<\/p>\n
In 2022, thanks to the cooperation of the “Polonika” Institute, the Lviv National Art Gallery named after B. G. Woznytskyi, and the restoration services of Lviv, it was transported to Poland, where it was examined and restored. The team of restorers was headed by Pavel Yendzheychyk, and more than 20 specialists participated in the project.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
