This article presents a letter previously unknown to researchers of the Łazienki Palace by Stanisław Trembecki, the court poet, to Stanislaus Augustus, on the basis of which a reinterpretation of the Rotunda’s ideological programme has proven possible. It so turns out that a significant role in this programme must have been played by the non-extant image of the Medusa that, personifying Jealousy, would have exerted negative influences on all rules gathered in the Rotunda. One of these sovereigns, most obviously, was Stanislaus Augustus himself, personifed as Courage. The four Polish monarchs and Roman emperors were supposed to be the rules with whom the last king of Poland compared himself, each of them evoking a specific virtue. As such, the programme expressed in the Rotunda presents the exceptionaly popular motif in the art of the later half of the 18th century of exemplum virtutis.

The article is an analysis of one of the last Jacek Kaczmarski’s poem named Łazienki zimą from the tome Tunel. Authoress exhibits numerous Enlightenment threads which are groundwork for discussed piece in a context of their durability in a culture. Comments about Kaczmarski interests in XVIII century are the starting point on which many songs of the bard (famous Krajobraz po uczcie, Sen Katarzyny II, Rejtan, czyli raport ambasadora etc.) are based. He is also an author of master’s thesis dedicated crucial to Łazienki zimą figure — king Stanisław August Poniatowski. This work adduces publications dedicated to culture and ordinary day of the Age of Lights which enlightens very close references of Kaczmarski to specified elements of this era. Attention is being brought to modeling the last king of Poland whose picture in Kaczmarski’s creation is not unequivocal — it spreads between criticism of his political decisions and attempt to understanding his motivation. Background for consideration is also created by Enlightenment reality, with particular emphasis issues of gardens (with their specific closing for externality). Kaczmarski’s work is a distinct testimony of presence Classicism threads in contemporary polish culture and evidence of significance of whole era in artist’s reflection about power and human condition. Author of Łazienki zimą makes contemporary consumer look in XVIII century mirror.
