[Painted house in Zalipie] by Bruno Barbey 1976:

submitted description: muted colors photo of a village house with a thatched roof. the wooden outside walls are painted in polish folk designs. on the left, there is an older woman in colorful clothes with her back to the camera. on the right there is a flock of geese

propaganda: i like how barbey's photos of poland are mostly in shades of grey even though the colors are clearly there. the decor on the wall and the woman's clothes and the geese's beaks are colorful!!!!! but you can almost mistake this for a black and white photo. magic. very nice retro vibe

about the author: Bruno Barbey was a french photographer who documented life in many poor or war-ridden areas of the world. There was an exhibition of his works earlier this year at the National Museum in Warsaw. his photos of 70s and 80s poland are a fascinating glance into the past, i really like how they show that even in (sometimes shocking) poverty there are moments of genuine joy and beauty. you can see more of them here and here

A man feeding swans in the snow by Marcin Ryczek, 2013:

propaganda: The composition is just so very striking, its simple in the idea but wow it works it. It looks almost unnatural in it.

propaganda: This was taken in Kraków. You can look up Ryczek's own perspective on it on his web site, where he likens it to the Yin Yang symbol. When I first saw it, I felt like it was two worlds spilling into each other, and therefore themselves falling apart in a way, and it felt chaotic to me. Beautiful composition.

about the artist: He has a studio: https://www.imagenationparis.com/marcinryczek

Fashion at the royal court of King John I Albert around 1500 …

The religious scenes of the so-called Master of the Family of Mary were clearly inspired by everyday life in Kraków, where he was active, as well as by the royal court of King John I Albert (1459-1501), King of Poland between 1492-1501. At that time, men and women wore similar caps, similar to turbans.

The studio of this unknown Kraków painter was active in the first quarter of the 16th century. This allows us to assume that the unknown master was Joachim Libnau, recorded in the years 1496-1526, or the more unknown Master Wincenty, who held the position of senior guild eight times in the years 1501-1523.

(1-4) Retable from the church in Dobczyce, late 15th century or early 16th century, National Museum in Kraków. Founded by the Lanckoroński family, probably Mikołaj Lanckoroński (died after 1524), royal courtier, Cupbearer of Sandomierz between 1494-1497 and Burgrave of Kraków between 1510-1517, whose family members were probably depicted in the paintings as biblical figures.

(5-8) Stare Bielsko Triptych, before 1500, Church of St. Stanislaus in Bielsko-Biała. The scene of Saint Stanislaus leading the knight Piotr before the Royal court, was most probably inspired by the court of John I Albert, who was depicted as his predecessor Boleslaus II the Cruel, King of Poland between 1076-1079.
