"Wernyhora" is a renowned oil painting by Jan Matejko, a preeminent Polish painter known for his monumental depictions of significant historical events and figures in Polish history. Created in 1883-1884, the painting is a visual representation of the legendary Ukrainian bard and prophet, Wernyhora, whose prophetic vision and call for the liberation of Poland resonated deeply with the national consciousness of the Polish people during periods of partition and foreign domination.

The artwork stands out in Matejko's oeuvre as a powerful symbol of hope and national revival. Wernyhora is depicted as a commanding figure, holding a golden horn, which according to legend, he would sound to announce the moment of Poland's resurgence and the gathering of its people for the cause of national liberation. The painting is imbued with symbolic elements and references to Polish folklore, emphasizing the cultural and historical ties between the Polish and Ukrainian peoples.

Set against a tumultuous sky that suggests the brewing storm of revolution and struggle, Wernyhora's imposing presence is both foreboding and inspiring, encapsulating Matejko's skill in portraying historical narratives with emotional depth and visual grandeur. The painting not only showcases Matejko's mastery of composition and his ability to convey complex historical themes through art but also reflects the artist's deep engagement with the idea of national identity and the role of prophecy and legend in shaping the collective memory and aspirations of a nation.

"Wernyhora" is considered one of Matejko's masterpieces, held in high regard for its artistic merit as well as its significance in the context of Polish cultural and political history. The painting is preserved in the National Museum in Kraków, Poland, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and scholarly interest, embodying the enduring spirit of Polish nationalism and the timeless appeal of Matejko's artistry.
