Portraits of members of the Jagiellon family

The main part of the exhibits at the Princes Czartoryski Museum are foundations of representatives of the royal family. Most interesting is the series of miniature portraits of the last Jagiellonians on the Polish throne, made in the studio of Lucas Cranach the younger.
On the one hand, the likenesses of dynasty members are the artistic source of the Old Polish portrait, on the other they are the attributes of power - the tools by which the depicted people emphasized their majesty.
The group consists of ten jointly framed miniatures painted with oil paint on copper sheets. They are all marked with the image of a winged dragon - the signature of the Cranach workshop of Wittembergi
