This paper explores the Dutch perceptions of the Polish king John III Sobieski before his famous victory over the Turks at the 1683 Battle of Vienna. Sobieski’s military triumphs and rise to power in the 1670s elicited various favourable responses from the Dutch Republic, most notably several prints by the etcher and engraver Romeyn de Hooghe. His prints laid the foundation for Sobieski’s image as a great European and Christian military leader, but also a specifically Polish and Catholic hero. Sobieski’s war efforts and the image formed of him by De Hooghe cohered with the negative Dutch perceptions of the Turks, as well as with Poland-Lithuania’s reputation as a bulwark of Christendom. The countless glorifying prints, poems and other European responses to Sobieski after his victory at Vienna were in many cases inspired by the image of the Polish monarch created in the Northern Netherlands during the 1670s.

The Vienna campaign of King John III Sobieski was widely reflected in the literature: diaries, journals, letters and chronicles. The apologies of the victory of the Polish monarch occurred in many  occasional works. Most of them were panegyrical. According to the calculations of researchers (Bolesław Klimaszewski, Juliusz Nowak-Dłużewski), about a dozen or so tales were created. Most poetry on this subject is quite average in terms of artistic skill. It should be remembered, however, that the preserved literary texts (written in Polish and Latin) were meant to glorify the success of the Polish army at Vienna and especially John III Sobieski. His image is heroic, and sometimes sacred. Among the dozen or so poets, Wespazjan Kochowski deserves attention as the one who devoted several works to the subject of victory at Vienna. Apart from favourable evaluations, there were also a few voices criticizing Sobieski’s foreign policy (for example, Wacław Potocki).

The article presents a little-known collection of panegyric poems by the Vilnius poet Walenty Bartoszewski: Pienia wesołe dziatek na przyjazd do Wilna Króla Jego M[ości], senatu i rycerstwa jego po rekuperowaniu Smoleńska. A unique printed copy of the collection is held by the Polish Academy of Sciences Kórnik Library. The author offers an interpretation of the work, identifying the used laudatory strategies, the key motifs, and Bartoszewski’s main sources of inspiration (primarily within the orbit of the Czarnolas tradition), as well as the work’s function and the objectives it might have sought to achieve.
