The first such in-depth scholarly account of the celebrated Lanckoroński collection reconstructs, based on archival sources, the holdings scattered and partly destroyed during World War II. The author traces the history of the collection from its inception in 1815 with  the purchase of paintings from the legacy of Stanislaus August Poniatowski, the last king of Poland, through its looting during World War II, to 1950 when it was reclaimed by Count Karol Lanckoroński’s heirs. The richly illustrated first volume recounts the story of the collection and its owner; the second volume is a catalogue raisonné of the collection.
