Medieval cycles presenting the life and martyrdom of St. Stanislaus the Bishop and the miracles after his death

Abstract

The author has presented the state of research on the works existing in Poland as well as the ones connected with the country. Then he has compiled and discussed the same theme scenes. That compilation of cycles presenting the life and martyrdom of St. Stanislaus the Bishop and the miracles after his death shows typological similarities and differences in depicting the events recorded before and after the canonization of the Saint. Those examples do not represent any faithful imitation of some earlier work; one can only trace some similarities and concepts based on iconographie models already existing in depicting Christ and the saints.
