JÓZEF SIMMLER - DEATH OF BARBARA RADZIWIŁŁ, 1860

This piece serves as the closing remark to the passionate love story of Barbara Radziwiłł and Sigismund II Augustus, the last king of Poland in the Jagiellonian dynasty. In 1547, Sigismund secretly wed Barbara, causing controversy as she was considered to be of low noble status despite being from a reputable Lithuanian family.

It wasn't until a lengthy battle with his mother Bona Sforza and parliament that Sigismund finally achieved Barbara's coronation in 1550, ensuring she was acknowledged as Queen of Poland rather than just his mistress. Nevertheless, the young queen tragically passed away just six months after being crowned, never having any children to inherit the throne. There has been much debate about the reason for her illness, which is shrouded by misogyny. Although we now believe that her symptoms aligned with cervical cancer.

In the painting, the censer on the floor and the closed prayer book on the chair symbolize the end of Barbara's life. Her arm hangs lifelessly, and her skin fades into the white sheets, the King observes in silence, his forehead creased and tears flowing from his eyes. The sole hint of royal status comes from the golden bed sheet, serving as a reminder that even with the Queen title, nobody is immune to death. Memento Mori.
