His reign consolidated the unification process of the Polish lands and brought Poland out of political isolation in Europe, after nearly two centuries of district disintegration.

Scroll with an image of King Jan Kazimierz, painted in watercolour by the artist of our publishing house, Marek Miha. The portrait is a colourful interpretation of drawings from the series Poczet królów i książąt polskich (A Selection of Polish Kings and Princes) made in pencil by Jan Matejko. JAN KAZIMIERZ (1609 - 1672) He assumed the Polish throne at a very difficult moment for the country - the whole of Ukraine was covered by the Khmelnytsky uprising. One war had not yet ended when the Republic was attacked by Moscow (1654), followed by the Swedish deluge (1655). Despite repulsing all invasions, the first symptoms of the disintegration of the Commonwealth's political system appeared during the reign of Jan Kazimierz (the first Sejm in 1652, broken off by the liberum veto, and the nobility's rebellion). The King abdicated, leaving Poland forever.
