The women carry bowls of food as well as garlands of flowers and fruit. Four medallions are placed beneath the first-floor windows, and three beneath the second-floor windows. Between them, incorporated into the composition, are decorative rectangular panels framed with sgraffito ornamentation, designed by Bernarda \u015awiderska.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location: <\/strong>The painted decoration was created as part of an effort by artists \u2013 primarily lecturers and students of the State School of Fine Arts in Gda\u0144sk (PWSSP) \u2013 to contribute to the reconstruction of G\u0142\u00f3wne Miasto, which had been heavily damaged in 1945. D\u0142uga Street and D\u0142ugi Targ were among the first areas to be rebuilt. The most valuable tenements were faithfully reconstructed, while others were given stylistic adaptations inspired, more or less, by their pre-1945 appearance. These restored fa\u00e7ades were intended to serve as a backdrop for the reconstructed historical monuments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information about the author:<\/strong> Bernarda \u015awiderska (b. 1921 (?) in Warsaw, d. 2011) graduated from the Faculty of Painting, State School of Fine Arts (PWSSP) in Gda\u0144sk. She led the Textile Studio at her alma mater. Her work encompassed mural painting, easel painting, and artistic textiles. She created numerous interior arrangements for prestigious buildings, including the Ostrogski Palace in Warsaw, the G\u0142\u00f3wne Miasto Town Hall in Gda\u0144sk, Ksi\u0105\u017c Castle, the French President\u2019s palace in La Bruy\u00e8re, and the Bydgoszcz Philharmonic Hall.<\/p>\n<p>Hanna G\u0142\u00f3wczewska (b. 1919 in P\u0142ock, d. 1980 in Warsaw) studied law and art history in Warsaw before the war, but abandoned this line of education in favour of artistic creation. She graduated from the State School of Fine Arts (PWSSP) in Gda\u0144sk in 1952. Following her graduation, she participated in the post-war reconstruction effort of Gda\u0144sk and Warsaw. In Warsaw, she worked in Hanna \u017bu\u0142awska\u2019s team, decorating the Marsza\u0142kowska Residential District. In Warsaw, she designed, among other things, the mosaic clock on Wilcza Street. Apart from architectural ceramics, she also designed applied and decorative ceramic wares (in Kadyny and W\u0142oc\u0142awek) as well as garden sculptures. She occasionally also worked with paintings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Condition of the object: <\/strong>good<\/p>\n<p><strong>Owner\/guardian: <\/strong>private object<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author of the entry:<\/strong> Klaudiusz Grabowski<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The painted decoration was created as part of an effort by artists \u2013 primarily lecturers and students of the State School of Fine Arts in Gda\u0144sk (PWSSP) \u2013 to contribute to the reconstruction of G\u0142\u00f3wne Miasto, which had been heavily damaged in 1945.
