Zusammenfassung:The raising and furbishing of the Chapel of St Mary Magdalene at the Cistercian Church in Henryków formed part of the last artistic offensive of the Catholic Church in Lower Silesia in the modern times, actually conducted after the region had been incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia. It was also one of the significant artistic projects implemented in the mid-18 th century by the Henryków Abbot Candidus Rieger. The preserved archival records allow to recreate the divi- sion of works on the project. Bricklaying, masonry, and carpentry were conducted mainly by local craftsmen. However, the remaining tasks were commissioned from Wroc≥aw masters. The pain- tings were executed by Johann Heinrich Kynast, the stuccoes by Dominicus Merck, while the altar and woodcarving by August Leopold Jäschke (ca. 1709-1787). Little identified in literature sofar, the sculptor was active for over five decades on the Sand Island, having a major impact on shaping the local Rococo fine arts. Educated most likely in the excellent atelier of Franz Joseph Mangoldt, Jäschke imitated his supposed master in figurative sculpture and in so-called ëminor architectural elementsí. He compensated for his mediocre skill at shaping figures by applying fashionable architectural concepts and extensive ornamentation. Jäschkeís professional activity, territorially covering Upper and Lower Silesia, as well as the borderline of Greater Poland, consti- tutes an excellent touchstone of the output of the Wroclaw artistic circles of the time of Rococo.
