The Museum of King Jan III&amp;rsquo;s Palace at Wilanów on the exhibition:
There are things we do not notice until we learn to look more closely. In the transformation of nature there is a story about time. We invite you to an exhibition of works by Izabela Wolska-Kuśmider.</description><category>museums</category></item><item><title>The Sobieskis and the Stuarts - The Splendour and Spectre of the Crown</title><link>https://muzea.waw.pl/en/museums/palac-wilanow/exhibitions/sobiescy-i-stuartowie/</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2026 17:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://muzea.waw.pl/en/museums/palac-wilanow/exhibitions/sobiescy-i-stuartowie/</guid><description>In the palace&amp;rsquo;s north wing, on view until 13 December 2026. The starting point is a marriage contracted in 1719 between a granddaughter of Jan III Sobieski and a claimant to three thrones who never regained any of them.
The Museum of King Jan III&amp;rsquo;s Palace at Wilanów on the exhibition:
The exhibition The Sobieskis and the Stuarts - the splendour and spectre of the crown is the first presentation in Poland to tell the story of a shared thread in the early modern histories of distant countries: the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and England, Scotland and Ireland. Its source was the marriage contracted in 1719 by Maria Clementina Sobieska, granddaughter of King Jan III, to James III/VIII of the House of Stuart, Pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland. Motivated by political and financial considerations, the union joined two people of different nationalities, from different cultures. What they shared, however, was a life that began in the splendour of a crown that grew more distant with the years. Maria Clementina&amp;rsquo;s father, James Louis Sobieski, lost the fight for the Commonwealth&amp;rsquo;s throne in the free election after King Jan III&amp;rsquo;s death. James III/VIII&amp;rsquo;s father, in turn - the Catholic king James II/VII Stuart - lost power after the Glorious Revolution of 1688.</description><category>museums</category></item><item><title>Rubensiana.

This is not a Rubens survey - it is a study of when a workshop replica stopped being counted as the equal of a painting made by the master&amp;rsquo;s own hand.
The Museum of King Jan III&amp;rsquo;s Palace at Wilanów on the exhibition:
This is the culmination of the multi-year research project &amp;ldquo;Rubensiana and the portrait of Anna Jagiellon&amp;rdquo;, begun in 2022 and carried out with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. The presentation goes beyond the traditional format of a thematic exhibition, becoming an in-depth study in attribution and connoisseurship. It shows the character of early modern artistic production, in which the boundary between the master&amp;rsquo;s own brushwork and a workshop repetition remained fluid, determined by the art theory of the day and by the conditions of the painting market.</description><category>museums</category></item></channel></rss>
