Sarcophagus of General Józef Count Załuski (1875)
Added to the collection:
Monument-sarcophagus of the general of the Polish army in the northern nave of the church — made by Ludwik Otowski.
In the northern nave of the church in Gręboszów, added in 1875 from the foundation of the widow of General Zofia Załuska née Przerębska, there is a sarcophagus with the figure of General Józef Bonawentura Załuski (d. 1866).
The monument was made in 1875 by Ludwik Otowski — a sculptor associated with the Krakow artistic community. The general was one of the most prominent figures associated with the history of the parish and landed estates of the region; the expansion of the church in the nineteenth century (1863–1875) was the work of the Załuski family. The general's funeral in 1866 was described by Jakub Bojko in [Kruszyny z Gremboszów] (/exhibits/crumbs-gremboszowa-1911/) — as the last sumptuous ceremony of the heirs of the village; the cost of the ceremony in Gręboszów amounted to 774 zlotys, and a second burial was organized in Krakow.
