Lublin renaissance - sacral architecture
The phenomenon of the so-called “Lublin Renaissance”, present in the former architecture of the today’s Lublin region, combining elements of a Gothic structure with Renaissance-Mannerist architectural décor, is best visible in sacred buildings – mainly churches. Despite changes that affected them, they constitute best preserved and in terms of style – considerably consistent set of buildings, even if diversified typologically, despite the fact that the churches were most probably created by a dozen stonemasons of Lublin, including several identified by name, such as Paweł Negroni, Piotr Durie, Jakub Balin, Piotr Traversi, Jakub Tremanzel, and Jan Cangerle – Italians coming mainly from the area of Lago di Como (Comacine masters).
