Paweł Giżycki
Paweł Giżycki (1692 – 1762) was a Polish Jesuit architect who worked in eastern regions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (mainly in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland).[1][2]
Biography
[edit]Giżycki was born in Greater Poland on 21 January 1692. His exact place of birth is unknown. He was admitted into the Society of Jesus in Kraków on 16 July 1710. In 1712–1713 he taught grammar in Piotrków. In 1713–1716, he studied philosophy in Lublin College and until 1719 lectured in Lwów, Sambor and Sandomierz.[3] Between 1719 and 1923, he studied theology in Sandomierz and Kraków. It is during this period that Giżycki likely received his architectural education at Kacper Bażanka's workshop, and perhaps participated in the reconstruction of the burnt Kraków College. After graduation, he was sent on mission to parishes of Biała, Jordanów and Żywiec. His first known architectural work was the main altar of Żywiec parish church, dated to 1724.[4] Giżycki died on 28 January 1762 in Krzemieniec, Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (now Kremenets, Ukraine).[5]
