Mother of God of Skalska - a great painting of the Mother of God, painted in 1863 by Walery Eljasz-Radzikowski on a rock in the Mnikowska Valley in a place called "Circus".
There are several legends explaining the reasons which guided W. Eljasz-Radzikowski in painting this picture. According to one version, during the January Uprising several insurgents were surrounded by Russian soldiers chasing them. The Mother of God showed them behind the rock a cave in which they were hiding. Another story says that the initiator of the painting was Countess Potocka, who asked God for help for her seriously ill daughter. In her dream, a rock in the Mnikowska Valley with the image of the Virgin Mary appeared to her. After her daughter recovered, the countess asked Radzikowski to paint a picture there. Radzikowski was probably also motivated by the desire to create a place of prayer for the participants of the January Uprising who were hiding there. After the fall of the January Uprising, the invader forbade celebrating masses for the Homeland in Krakow's churches. Cracovians, under the pretext of recreational trips outside the city, participated in secret masses celebrated in front of the image of Our Lady of Skala.
