Another coin from the "Pride of Polish Painting" series, which depicts the most important works of Polish painters. Each coin presents a different image of the Polish art heritage, faithfully rendered on a silver coin, thanks to the use of modern printing techniques. The coins have a limited mintage - only 500 pieces. This is an excellent item in the collection of any lover of Polish art.     Waclaw's Farewell to Maria - the scene refers to Antoni Malczewski's romantic poem Maria (1825), based on the tragic fate of Polish noblewoman Gertrude Komorowska. Married secretly to the wealthy aristocrat Szczęsny Potocki, she was later murdered (February 13, 1771) at the behest of her father-in-law Franciszek Saleze Potocki, Voivode of Volhynia, who could not bear the thought of a misalliance. Simmler depicted the episode of the farewell of the spouses (named Waclaw and Maria in the poem) parting before the war expedition.
