At the centre of the composition, the King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, John Casimir (Jan Kazimierz), kneels before an image of the Virgin Mary, vowing to extend civil rights to the nobility and improve the conditions of the peasantry. In front of the king stands Bishop Tarnowski reading the oath. The queen kneels beside him, with the royal retinue behind. The painting is rendered in warm tones of browns and ochres. Matejko painted it with loose, sketch-like brushstrokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"554\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"38235\" src=\"https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sluby-Jana-Kazimierza-554x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Obraz olejny przedstawiaj\u0105cy wn\u0119trze \u015bwi\u0105tyni z ozdobnym z\u0142oconym o\u0142tarzem po lewej, duchownym w mitrze i bia\u0142ych szatach przy o\u0142tarzu, kl\u0119cz\u0105cym m\u0119\u017cczyzn\u0105 w ciemnym ubraniu, stoj\u0105c\u0105 obok kobiet\u0105 w jasnej sukni, licznymi postaciami w tle oraz bogatymi dekoracjami i czerwonym dywanem.\" class=\"wp-image-38235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sluby-Jana-Kazimierza-554x1024.jpg 554w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sluby-Jana-Kazimierza-162x300.jpg 162w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sluby-Jana-Kazimierza-768x1420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sluby-Jana-Kazimierza-1920x3549.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sluby-Jana-Kazimierza-scaled.jpg 1385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We invite you to explore the information about this work in the digital catalogue of the National Museum in Krak\u00f3w.
