  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.

  Matejko. The painter and history

  Among Polish painters, there is perhaps none more universally known than Jan Matejko. His works have accompanied generation after generation of Poles, at the very least from the beginnings of their education in the field of history, though mainly through reproductions in history books at that time. It is no exaggeration to say that the paintings of Matejko have shaped the imagination of the Polish nation on the greatest events of its own history. The painting “The Battle of Grunwald” by this artist is the Polish painting most forcefully etched into the shared consciousness.

  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.

  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.
