 abstract={This article is contains a new interpretation of the subject and symbolic meaning as well as a reappraisal of Tymon Niesiołowski’s two pastel paintings inspired by Juliusz Słowacki’s poem Król-Duch (The Spirit King). Crucial to the revised reading of the painting Złotogłów (Asphodel) is the conflation of the statue of Perun (the Slavic god of war) with Popiel (legendary king of Poland) and elements of Stanisław Wyspiański’s design of the St Stanislaus stained glass window in Wawel Cathedral, i.e. an intertextual link between Perun’s curse and the curse cast by Bishop Stanislaus of Szczepanów on the King. The subject of the other painting is now identified as the moment of incarnation of the Spirit King in King Bolesław the Bold and his descent on earth.},
