Abstrakt: The Boim Chapel in Lviv, erected at the beginning of the 17th c. (1609–1611) as a family mausoleum by Jerzy (Georg) Boim, a wealthy merchant originating from Hungary, since 1967 is part of the Lviv National Art Gallery. Although today it forms a visual dominant of the Cathedral Square, until the end of 18th c. it was surrounded by other funeral chapels as part of the city’s cemetery. It represents one of the most important examples of Mannerist, profusely decorated, architectural style on the historical territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (covering today’s territories of Poland, Lithuania, Byelorussia and western Ukraine). Its exterior and interior decoration has mostly been executed\nin local stone except the stuccoworks in the coffered dome. The hemisphere has been divided into three rows of coffers, where at the bottom portrait busts of the Boim family, in the middle of prophets and at the top of saints have been placed. The space between the coffers, painted most probably in 1925 in blue, has been decorated with gilded stucco stars. In 2019, an archival and material research was launched to plan future restoration works in the chapel. For the time being, only a few samples have been taken to study the technique of stuccoworks in the coffered dome. The results of this preliminary research gave us an insight into the original technique and subsequent renovation works. The architectural decoration, such as frames, have been moulded on site, while the portrait busts and stars have been mounted as precast elements. The archival research was helpful in interpreting the material research results.
