EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La Christianisation de la Pologne, 966 - The Christianization of Poland, 966" transports us back to a significant moment in Polish history. Painted by the talented artist Jan Alojzy Matejko in 1889, this oil on wood masterpiece measures an impressive 79x120 cm and is housed at the Muzeum Narodowe in Warsaw. The painting depicts a pivotal event that took place during the medieval period, specifically in the 10th century. In this scene, we witness the conversion of Poland to Christianity. A plough stands prominently in the foreground, symbolizing both agricultural progress and spiritual transformation. Orders of priests can be seen performing baptisms and blessings upon a crowd of eager countrymen who have gathered near a picturesque river. The landscape surrounding them is lush with forests, adding depth and serenity to the composition. Matejko's attention to detail brings this historical narrative to life as he skillfully captures not only the physical aspects but also conveys emotions through his brushstrokes. This artwork serves as a testament to Poland's rich cultural heritage and its embrace of Christianity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Matejko's series "History of Civilization in Poland" we are reminded of how art has the power to transport us across time and immerse us into important moments that have shaped our world today.
