About the piece

Created in 1846 by artist Wincenty Chrząstkiewicz, this oil painting is a masterful example of religious folk art from the Slovak-Polish border region. It depicts the apparition of Our Lady of La Salette, with a central figure of the Virgin Mary in regal attire, flanked by cherubic angels and narrative scenes of the vision unfolding in a rural landscape. The work is characterized by its bold palette, central composition, and flat perspective typical of the period's devotional art.
