Original – Miniature painted by Stanisław Samostrzelnik of Mogiła (Stanislaus Claratumbensis), from a manuscript copy of two books by Jan Długosz, created in the 1530s for Bishop Piotr Tomicki of Kraków. It depicts Saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów as the patron saint of Poland, venerated by King Sigismund I and Tomicki himself together with church and secular dignitaries.

Reason

One of the painter's best works, used in diverse WP articles. High resolution allowing to see some curious details not easily spotted (like a green, winged, fire-breathing dragon). Public domain. I have written an extensive description of the painting, based on a reliable source.
