Depictions of military martyrs were among the most popular subjects in icon painting in Rus’. Between the 11th and the 17th century local workshops adopted canonical Byzantine models and gradually developed and changed them depending on local factors and conditions. The present article attempts to classify the most common iconographic types and to describe the dynamic of the changes in the iconographic canon on the basis of a  qualitative and quantitative analysis of extant and known works.

Adam Stalony-Dobrzański pushed the great tradition of the icon into the future, he broke, transformed, developed and multiplied its archaic canons. In 1932, in Harklowa in Podhale, Włodzimierz Cichoń and Adam StalonyDobrzański found historic, 15th-century polychromes. The discovery and many months of work on their conservation seem to be a moment of awakening the archaic heritage of the icon in the artist’s consciousness. While working on the polychromes in the churches of St. Catherine of Alexandria in Radom, St. Anna in Bobin, and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Michałowo, the artist created his own style, immersed in folk art, tradition of icon and the heritage of Western European art. Jerzy Nowosielski was a student of Adam Stalony-Dobrzański. These two artists created works full of differences, backed by the tradition and cultural heritage of both iconographers, Adam Stalony-Dobrzański was born as a mystic and Jerzy Nowosielski as a theologian.

The first and especially the second decade of the 21st century resulted in the creation of many iconographic schools in Poland. These were schools of various ranges, in different regions and addressed to various groups of people. They developed in a formally regulated manner in secular and ecclesial institutions, but also in private art studios or parishes. Depending on the experience and educational background of the teacher, icon writing can be a science consistent with canon and developed on the basis of the Orthodox religion it can deviate significantly from the models adopted in that culture. There are also innovative tendencies in the iconography represented by theologically aware artists. All of them, however, are united by the fact that there is a dispute over the Polish nomenclature of activities related to making icons. One basic linguistical dilemma among theorists is whether we should use the term „to write an icon”. The word „icon-writer” already exists in the Dictionary of the Polish Language, but „icon-writing” is replaced with „iconography” or „icon painting”. Is the reference to „Russianism” or „Greekism” in this case justification for not introducing the word „icon-writing” into the formal circulation as well? And so what about the use of the word „icon”, which in Greek means „a picture”? Being aware of the complexity of the problem, I would like to outline the lexical dilemmas related to the spreading of the art of creating icons in Poland, recalling the theological dimension of icons in cultural context.

Created in the years 1954–1955, polychrome of the church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Michałowo is important work of Orthodox art. The interior decoration, both in design and execution, is an individual and complete work of Adam Stalony-Dobrzański. It reveals the most important features of his style, which crystallized in the 50’s. The paintings are filled with quotes from medieval traditions, both Byzantine and Gothic. Adam Stalony-Dobrzański introduced new interpretative qualities and made a synthesis of two traditions – the East and the West, unprecedented in contemporary sacred painting, translated into the language of modernity, and illustrated in his own, innovative way. Along the ornamental stripes of the ornamental decoration, the artist placed hand-painted sequences of letters forming inscriptions – quotations from the Holy Bible, explaining the meaning of figural representations. They complement, explain and develop the ideological meanings shown in the form of an image. The iconographic arrangement of the wall decorations, which is a transformation of the canon formed after iconoclasm in the spaces of cross-domed temples, was adapted to the architecture of the interior of the wooden church, creating a homogeneous and coherent ideological program.

Adam Stalony-Dobrzański is an Orthodox artist who significantly influenced the image of the Orthodox art in the second half of the 20th century in Poland, and at the same time contributed to the renaissance of Byzantine-Ruthenian iconography. By popularizing the form of a stained glass window as an element of the Orthodox church interiors, he extended the tradition of Eastern Christian art, finding a medium in the form of glass and lead to express the mystery of the icon. He is the author of at least 342 stained glass compositions made for Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant churches. The multitude of iconographic themes appearing in Stalony-Dobrzański’s stained glass windows – referring to the centuries-old tradition of Christian art – features representations of children. These are the scenes showing the childhood of Jesus and Mary (the Orthodox church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gródek), presentations of St. Sophia with Faith, Hope and Love (the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Hajnówka, the House of the Metropolitan in Warsaw), the image of the Guardian Angel leading a child (the Catholic church of Our Lady of the Scapular in Stalowa Wola-Rozwadów) or Christ blessing children (the Evangelical-Augsburg Church of Holy Trinity in Warsaw). A kind of iconographic novelty is introduced here with depictions of children as Unknown Saints of our time (the Orthodox church of St John Climacus in Warsaw). In the stained glass windows, we also find images of Jacinta, Francisco and Lucia – three children who witnessed the apparitions of The Blessed Virgin Mary in Fatima, recognized by the Catholic Church.
