    Mickiewicz as a Pilgrim (1894)

    Jan Styka (Polish, 1858–1925)

    A lone pilgrim stands against a vast landscape, his gaze distant yet intense. The folds of his cloak catch the wind, echoing the restless spirit of Polish literature. There’s weight in his stillness—a man caught between exile and longing, as if the horizon holds both memory and prophecy.
