Michalina Janoszanka was a Polish artist, and unfortunately, her oeuvre still awaits wider discovery. She is primarily known in the world of Polish art as the muse and model of the greatest Polish symbolist painter, Jacek Malczewski. Her own artistic path remained in the shadow of this association. Her works primarily consisted of unremarkable still lifes, mainly depictions of flowers and portraits, painted in oil on canvas. But her most striking pieces are glass paintings like the one we present today. In the National Museum in Krakow, her representations of the Spring and Winter seasons surprise with their ingenuity and color palette. She also specialized in religious themes, painting images of saints, which were highly popular, also on glass. They combine elements of folk art and Young Poland decorative aesthetics. One of them, St. Teresa of the Child Jesus, can be admired in the side altar of St. Anne's Collegiate Church in Krakow.
