Description:
This tempera painting by Zbigniew Ochman depicts the revered image of Our Lady of Częstochowa, also known as the Black Madonna. Noteworthy in this portrayal are the distinctive scars on her right cheek. These marks are a reminder of the 1430 attack on the Jasna Góra monastery, where the icon was defaced by a soldier. Despite restoration efforts, the scars remained, symbolizing her role as the Mother of Sorrows and reflecting the resilience and trials of the Polish people.
