1501 Aleksander Alexander Crowned Kazimierz Krakow Poland

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the coronation of Aleksander Jagellonczyk, the third son of Kazimierz V, as the new King of Poland in Krakow, Poland, in June 1501. The young Aleksander, dressed in ornate robes and wearing the royal crown, sits confidently on his throne as he is blessed by the bishop, symbolizing the transfer of power and the beginning of his reign. The scene is set in the magnificent Wawel Cathedral, a significant site of Polish history and the traditional venue for royal coronations. The cathedral's stunning architecture and intricate details are on full display, with stained glass windows casting a warm, colorful glow over the scene. Aleksander's ascension to the throne came after the unexpected death of his older brother Jan Olbracht, who had ruled Poland since 1492. At just 17 years old, Aleksander was a relatively inexperienced ruler, but he was determined to uphold the Jagiellonian dynasty's legacy of peace and prosperity. The coronation was a grand affair, attended by nobles, clergy, and commoners from all corners of Poland and beyond. It marked the beginning of a new era in Polish history, one that would see Aleksander navigate political and military challenges, as well as forge alliances with neighboring countries. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of Poland and the Jagiellonian dynasty, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the significant role Poland played in European history.
