The paper is devoted to occasional laudatory verses which were written to honour princess Elżbieta Sapieżyna (née Branicka) and the members of her closest family – son Kazimierz Nestor Sapieha, General of the Lithuanian Artillery and brother Franciszek Ksawery Branicki, Great Crown Hetman. The begining of the article reminds of already known literary works containing complimentary images of the female aristocrat. The main object of author’s interest are pieces that have not been noticed by scholars of the eighteenth-century political writings. These are: anonymous ode written in 1784 in connection with arrival of Sapieżyna to Prienai (pol. Preny) in Lithuania and collection of four verses created by Wojciech Zacharkiewicz, who thereby added splendour to the Franciszek Ksawery Branicki’s coming to Warsaw for parliamentary sitting of the Great Sejm and to election of Kazimierz Nestor Sapieha for the Marshal of lithuanian confederation. The author discussed circumstances of the creation, main motifs of content and artistic composition of laudatory images of addressees. Furthermore he determined connections of these verses with then popular genres of occasional poetry and put Sapieżyna’s complimentary portraits in context of manners of creation women’s images in literary works of that time.

The article focuses on a comprehensive reflexion on the painting showing Hanging of the Traitors in Effigie 29 Sept. 1794 (oil, Warsaw History Museum, property of National Museum, Warsaw) attributed to either Jean Pierre Norblin or Aleksander Orłowski. The painting is a unique historical testimony documenting the act of justice meted out on the leaders of the Targowica Confederation sentenced with final binding judgment of the insurgents’ tribunal to death for betraying their homeland. Since the convicts succeeded in escaping, in compliance with the valid procedures, their portraits were hanged. The painter rendered the moment of the sentence being administered: in the presence of the famous Działyński Infantry Regiment, the Capuchins seeing to the ‘convicts’, and the gathered crowd. The convicts’ portraits were placed on peasant carriages, and among them (on the first carriage) there was a portrait of Great Crown Hetman Franciszek Ksawery Branicki. The hangman is placing the effigy of Szczęsny Potocki on the gallows, underneath Seweryn Rzewuski is already awaiting his turn.
