Łuk triumfalny w Jabłonnie, Triumphal arch in Jabłonna, Poland
Łuk triumfalny w Jabłonnie is a triumphal arch erected in 1837 to the design of Henryk Marconi, standing in the park near the palace of primate Michał Poniatowski. It honours Prince Józef Poniatowski, and its stone structure carries two figures mounted in 2018 by students of the sculpture conservation department of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts: a warrior and a woman with a shield.
The monument was built in 1837 following Henryk Marconi's design and honors Prince Józef Poniatowski, a distinguished Polish military commander. Its construction reflects a period of commemorating important figures in Polish military history.
The arch honours Prince Józef Poniatowski, and its two sculpted figures — a warrior and a woman holding a shield — were installed in April 2018 by third- and fourth-year students of the Sculpture and Architectural Elements Conservation and Restoration Department at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, completing conservation work there.
The monument underwent extensive restoration work, which included installing two new statues on its structure. Visitors can explore the gateway from various angles within the park and view it as part of the larger palace grounds.
The two figures now on the arch, a warrior and a woman holding a shield, were mounted in April 2018 by third- and fourth-year students of the Sculpture and Architectural Elements Conservation and Restoration Department at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, as part of conservation work.
