  No retouching. Jan Matejko

  Watercolours allow for very little possibility of retouching of correcting the image created. Painting in this medium involves the application of thin, nearly transparent layers of paint to the paper, through which the substrate is visible. The technique requires precision and accuracy. Once painted, a given fragment can only be very slightly modified by the application of further layers or by the removal of some of the pigment.

  Medal in private. Private Medals in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

  From their very beginnings, medals have been close to the hearts of those who receive them – quite literally! They were often meant to be held in the hand, and to be passed from hand to hand (either in official ceremonies or during private events), or sent by post, or even … tossed out into gathered crowds. They were used in a variety of ways also. They were sometimes piously stored in small cases, or ostentatiously worn on the chest, everyday items were decorated with them, or they were interred in graves along with the deceased. They accompanied people during family celebrations such as baptisms, weddings and funerals, but also lent a celebratory touch to official ceremonies. Their purpose was to commemorate events and individuals, thus they were mementos of a personal nature in every sense.

  LELEWEL. The Polish engraver

  Joachim Lelewel (1786-1861), a distinguished Pole, politician and historian, went down in Polish historiography as the author of pioneering writings on history, the history of writing and bookselling, and the history of cartography and numismatics of antiquity and the Middle Ages. He worked in Warsaw and Vilnius, where he was professor of general history at the University of Vilnius. After the fall of the November Rising, as an emigrant he stayed briefly in France. In 1833 Belgium gave him shelter. He settled in Brussels, where he spent 28 years of his extremely busy life. His scientific achievements in numismatics from that time brought the Polish scholar international recognition and fame.

  URSULA VON RYDINGSVÄRD. Nothing but Art

  Monumental sculptures by Ursula von Rydingsvard evoke the ancient notion of sublimity. As we look at them in parks, on squares or incorporated into the wondrous architecture of American buildings, they enthuse us with their dynamic form. They testify to the artist's amazing ability to create poetic pieces made of cedar wood and charged with a personal and emotional touch.

  Aleksander Kotsis (1836-1877) Shades of Realism

  Born in Ludwinów near Krakow and living in Podgórze, Aleksander Kotsis was one of the most valued Polish painters working in the mid-19th century. His work is associated with artistic circles in Krakow, Vienna and Munich. Kotsis's art represents the direction of 19th-century realism, and its analogies can be found in the works of the so-called painters of the people, e.g. Jean-François Millet (1814-1875). What is also worth-noting is the Romantic perception of the world.

  MUSEUM POWER

  MUSEUM POWER is an experimental exhibition addressed to those of us who have visited a museum at least once in their lives and left it awestruck, or hated it or remained indifferent. We have been through that, too. What was happening to us then? How did our senses and cultural anchoring influence that experience? And how were we influenced by the museum itself?
