Scroll with an image of King Jan III Sobieski, painted in watercolour by the artist of our publishing house Marek Miha. The portrait is a colourful interpretation of drawings from the cycle Poczet królów i książąt polskich executed in pencil by Jan Matejko.

JAN SOBIESKI (1629 – 1696)
He came from a magnate family. In 1674, the nobility elected him king. Jan III Sobieski was an outstanding commander who achieved some of the greatest military successes of Polish arms, including the Battle of Chocim (1673) and the famous relief of Vienna (1683). He was also a great patron of culture and the arts. On the other hand, he did little in matters of foreign, domestic policy and economy. He did not stop the negative processes decaying the Polish state with increasing speed.

Description

Edition in the form of a stylized scroll with a wax seal suspended on strings. It is printed on decorative paper, similar in texture and properties to the handmade papers used in the old days. An additional characteristic element of the publication are the jagged edges of the sheet, which are stylistically reminiscent of old incunabula affected by the tooth of time. As in all our wall publications, the paper is coated with a finishing matte laminate on both sides, which strengthens it and protects it from moisture and dust. In addition, this treatment makes the scroll more similar to the original parchment. The sheet is wound on wooden rollers topped with knobs with metal fittings. The whole is reminiscent of the scrolls of Roman scriptures or Jewish torah. Author’s binding by Pergamena Publishing House with decorative string for hanging.
