About the piece
Painted in 1776 by Jean-Pierre Norblin de La Gourdaine, this work depicts the legendary election of Piast the Wheelwright as king. The scene is rendered with a masterful use of chiaroscuro, highlighting the central figures against a soft, darkening sky, characteristic of the Rococo-to-Neoclassical transition in European painting.
