Portrait of Jakub Ludwik Sobieski with his father, c. 1680s by Jan Tricius
The Armenian monastery of Suceava was a base of operations in John III Sobieski's failed efforts to secure the Moldavian throne for his son Jakub.
This painting was commissioned by Jakub Sobieski in 1697. It depicts his deceased father pointing to a book entitled Hac Lege lego and accompanied by Jakub and his wife, suggesting that Jakub ought to be the next King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania.
Jakub Sobieski's return to Poland after 1717 and his subsequent reconciliation with Augustus II allowed him to regain property that the King-Grand Duke had confiscated in Olesko.
During the reign of Jakub Sobieski, Oława Castle received new interior furnishings and the library was enlarged. After the prince left Oława in 1734, the structure began to decline. The Prussians subsequently located a hospital and a bakery in the castle.Awards
