Product description
Author: Hanna Widacka
From this neatly arranged and commented set of graphic images emerges a ‘collective’ portrait of Jan III, the greatest leader among Polish monarchs, who presents himself to posterity in various roles, poses and costumes in graceful engravings from the era (it's really worth liking their forms!). Our brave king, who was still clothed in ancient myths following the example of his era, becomes a myth himself, a great myth of the Poles. It is worth reading about it, it is worth looking at it, and above all – domesticating it, because if we seriously remember our history, its great figures should visit our home libraries as often as possible.
