In Equestrian Portrait of Count Stanislas Potocki, how is the Later years (1781–1939) of the Reception and ownership elucidated?
The ownership of Wilanów was transferred to Potocki in 1799, who would amass a significant collection of European and East Asian art. David's portrait of Potocki was placed on the eastern wall of the Great Hall (now known as the White Hall) of the palace. in 1805, the collection was officially opened to the public, becoming one of the first public art museums in Poland. In 1831, amid concerns of potential Russian pillaging due to the November Uprising—an armed insurrection that had erupted on 29 November 1830 against the occupying Russian Empire—the portrait of Potocki was relocated to Warsaw for safekeeping, where it remained until 1834.Placed on public display at the palace until 1864, it was then moved to private quarters to become part of the Potocki family portrait collection put together by August Potocki, Stanisław's grandson. In 1877, Aleksandra Potocka, August's widow, published an illustrated catalogue of the Wilanów collection, which included a reproduction of David's portrait of Stanisław Kostka Potocki. The ownership of the palace and the collection was subsequently passed to the Branicki family in 1892. In 1913, it was featured in David's retrospective titled David et ses Eleves at the Petit Palais in Paris. In 1932, the portrait, along with several other works by David, was shown at the Exhibition of French Art 1200–1900, an extensive survey show of French art across seven centuries, organized at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. In 1937, it was exhibited at Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in Paris.
