- Description
- Baroque tombstone of a physician and professor at the University of Krakow, provost of St Mary's Church from 1723 to 1761, its distinguished protector and benefactor Jacek Łopacki (d. 1761) was designed by Francesco Placidi. It was made of black marble with an oval portrait of the deceased on tin in the finial. The monument, attached to the south wall of the presbytery, next to the main altar, is symbolic and emphasises above all the modesty of the inflate who, unlike his predecessors, had himself buried in the ground in the cemetery.
