Wojciech Cie\u015bniewski and his extraordinary journey into the depths of human nature<\/h3>

The exhibition features 12 exceptional paintings<\/a> depicting the four cardinal virtues and the seven deadly sins, complemented by the titular work “Wrath<\/a>“<\/em>, an allegorical portrayal of Girolamo Savonarola<\/a>.
