Jerzy Siemiginowski can justly be considered the foremost painter at the court of King Jan III. The years of education in Rome, financed by the monarch, enabled him to gain a thorough command of the workshop and conventions of painting. They gave him an intellectual facility in drawing inspiration from the troves of artistic achievements of the Antiquity, the Renaissance, and the Baroque. The works of Master Eleuter are typified by elaborate composition, flawless lines, and harmonious colouring; they represent the crowning achievement of the art of painting in the Commonwealth in the late seventeenth century.
