  Miracle of Light. Medieval Stained Glass in Poland

  In the Middle Ages, stained glass windows in churches were a huge artistic, technical and financial challenge, thus confirming the principals' prestige. Early Modern was a period when these stained glass windows were being removed, so that a very small percentage has survived to this day. Despite the fascination it stirred in the nineteenth century, stained glass was regarded as a decorative art and was much underrated, and still is - like the light and color that combine to create it - a phenomenon as fascinating as it is elusive.

Selected works by Stanisław Wyspiański

Stanisław Wyspiański's versatile talent places him – an artist so strongly associated with Krakow – among the greatest personalities of Polish modernism. His paintings and prints are commonly known, though he was just as passionate about typography and decorative arts. He will also remain in our collective memory as a writer of poetry and dramas. The National Museum in Krakow holds the largest collection of works by Wyspiański in Poland. We encourage everyone to explore our virtual gallery of selected works of the artist – both his most famous works, most widely reproduced and close to the heart of every Pole, and those less popular, but equally outstanding.
