St. Michael’s Basilica

Description

On the other bank of the Vistula lokated is a small mysteriously outcrop in Kraków on top of which a Pauline monastery is located and beside him Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Stanislaus the Bishop and Martyr Basilica, also known as Skałka, which means “a small rock” in Polish. This place have a uncanny history it is said to be the place where the Bishop of Kraków saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów was slain by order of Polish king Bolesław II the Bold in 1079. This action resulted in the king’s exile and the eventual canonization of the slain bishop.
Despite this, the basilica is incredibly magnetic, especially at sunset, when the sun’s rays fall on its snow-white walls and they turn orange and all the green takes on a pink tint. So it’s really a charming view!
I use such paints as Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Winsor, so the picture has high light resistance and the paint doesn’t lose its qualities over time.
