Gothic Architecture flourishes during this era, leaving us awe-inspired by its grandeur and delicate engravings. In Poland, Casimir III reigns with wisdom and strength, shaping his nation's destiny.

An Angel Wearing a Turban emerges from c. 1370-80 – captured beautifully in gouache with gold paint on paper – reminding us of celestial beings guiding humanity throughout time.
