Poster according to the last, sixth drawing of Artur Grottger's Lithuania cycle "Vision".
It depicts the Virgin Mary with Jesus (an image of Our Lady of Czestochowa) appearing to a woman insurgent exiled deep into Russia, who, shackled, is working as a miner in a mine. Perhaps she is the wife of a fallen gamekeeper, punished for helping the insurgents. Perhaps her child was taken from her. And now she extends her hands toward Mary in a gesture of prayerful request for help. After the January Uprising ended, some 40,000 insurgents were sent in stages to exile in Siberia, more than half of whom never returned. The Epiphany of Our Lady of Czestochowa is, despite the defeat of the uprising and the suffering of the Poles, a sign of hope and faith in the constant protection of the Queen of the Polish Crown. Metal alloy. Turn of the 19th / 20th century. Diameter 33 cm.
