Object history
Until 1939 allegorical paintings by Batoni: 'Apollo and two Muses' and 'Allegory of architecture, painting and sculpture' occupied a prominent place in the Wilanów collection. During the Second World War both paintings were lost; one of them, 'Apollo and two Muses', was found in Pavlovsk near St. Petersburg and in 1997 returned to Poland due to the efforts of the Government Plenipotentiary for Polish Cultural Heritage Abroad.
