The Election of Stanisław August
The Election of Stanisław August is a 1778 oil on canvas painting by Bernardo Bellotto, produced to the instructions of its subject Stanisław August Poniatowski and now hanging alongside twenty-two other paintings by the artist in the Senatorial Hall of the Royal Castle, Warsaw, also known as the Canaletto Hall (Bellotto often went by the name of his uncle Canaletto). A first version produced in 1776 had not met with Stanisław August's approval and instead was given to Crown Marshal Franciszek Rzewuski; it is now in the National Museum, Poznań. Both works show the 1764 Polish–Lithuanian royal election, the last free royal election in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
