 ART FROM THE RENASCENCE The Florentine artists, Tadolini and Ricci, supplied some sculptures without ever having visited Cracow. The short Neo-Gothic period is represented by two Italians, Francesco Land, architect, and Paolo Filippi, sculptor; their drawingroom-like decoration of Queen Sophia's Chapel in the cathedral has been removed in the course of the present restoration. A

revival of Cracow sculpture was first started by Charles Ceptowski, a disciple of Thorwaldsen. He educated several artists of the younger generation, such as the brilliantly gifted Leon Szubert, who unfortunately died early, the excellent stone-cutters, Edward and Sigismund Stehlik, and the sculptor Rogozinski. From the Cracow workshop of Valerian Gadomski, a pupil of Filippi, there came several works of high artistic value, which now adorn public places and buildings.
