CASIMIR THE GREAT (1310 – 1370) The last of the Piast dynasty, king of Poland from 1333. Due to his talented foreign policy and the small number of wars fought, he was called the "diplomatic king" and "he who found Poland wooden and left it brick", due to the construction of dozens of new cities and expansion or building several hundred new castles and fortresses. His reign actually consolidated the process of unification of Polish lands and led Poland out of political isolation in Europe, after nearly two centuries of division.

BASIC OFFER The paintings we offer are available in two widths, depending on the image's orientation: – Landscape paintings are 95 cm wide – Portrait paintings are 65 cm wide. The price of the paintings does not depend on the width, but on whether they are printed on canvas or paper, and on the type of frame or frameless frame. Their height varies and depends on the proportions specified by the artist. The price for both widths is the same and is: – Canvas print on a roll: PLN 490.00 / 1 m² – Canvas print on stretcher bars: PLN 590.00 / 1 piece – Canvas print with Pergamena frame: PLN 550.00 / 1 piece – Double-sided laminated paper print with Pergamena frame: PLN 470.00 / 1 piece FRAMES We do not sell framed paintings.

AUTOGRAPH Paintings from our gallery are signed by the artist on each canvas and confirmed by a certificate of authenticity. LARGER FORMAT PAINTINGS We also offer paintings in larger formats. They are sold only in rolls for individual framing. The cost of larger format paintings is the painting's surface area in m², calculated including a 6-centimeter margin, multiplied by PLN 490.00. For example, the actual canvas dimensions of a 110 cm x 80 cm painting, including the margin for framing, are 122 cm x 92 cm. Due to technical constraints, the maximum height of landscape paintings offered is 135 cm, and the maximum width of portrait paintings is 135 cm. Additionally, we add domestic shipping costs of PLN 15 for rolls and bound parchments, and PLN 35 for stretcher paintings. International shipping costs are calculated individually depending on the country and carrier. PERGAMENA BINDING Pergamena Publishing's stylized binding – a form of framing characterized by proprietary technical solutions and an original composition of design details. The binding evokes the traditional method of hanging wall publications on wooden rods. The supporting rods are inserted at the top and bottom of the publication into sleeves created by folding the material and joining it lengthwise with decorative rivets. The rods are topped with wooden knobs with metal fittings, to which a decorative hanging cord is attached at the top. The lower part of the painting is stamped with a synthetic sealing wax image of the Piast eagle, suspended on strings.

The prayer called Saint Patrick's Breastplate is one of the most interesting relics of early Christianity. This type of hymn of an apotropaic and exorcistic nature was widely used in Ireland and Scotland between the 5th and 12th centuries. The prayer is meant to act as a spiritual armor. A specific definition of the term comes from the 11th-century Liber Hymnorum: “It is a religious protection of body and soul against demons, men and vices. Any person who sings it to God with great concentration, every day, will not see demons. It will protect him from every poison and envy, he will be protected from sudden death, and it will be a shield for his soul after death.”

The board commemorates Saint. Stanisław of Szczepanów (also Stanisław Szczepanowski), bishop of Krakow, martyr, saint of the Catholic Church and one of the main patrons of Poland. The illumination placed on the board shows Saint. Stanisław as the patron saint of the Kingdom of Poland and comes from the work of Jan Długosz entitled Catalog of the Archbishops of Gniezno (Latin: Catalogus archiepiscoporum gnesnensium) from before 1476. The author of the painting is the Cistercian Stanisław Samoshootnik, a. Stanisław of Mogila (1480 - 541) - Polish painter, illuminator and miniaturist. The illustrations for the catalog were made several dozen years after Jan Długosz's death.
