Zawisza the Black

Description

The main idea of the VVINNERS project is the creation of the unique compilation of Polish victories, that became legendary and are inspiration for next generations of Poles. In the project we avoid touching on the martyrological topics. On the contrary, we focus on the promotion of numerous Polish victories, suggesting at the same time that they are still possible nowadays – just as they were in the past. We show Poland as a country of winners - brave and fearless people for whom freedom has always been a top priority - just like for the Spartans.

Successes of polish animations or the comics anthology about the Warsaw Uprising, clearly show that historical and patriotic topics can be successfully used in the contemporary design and they arouse a lot of interest among the audience, cultural institutions and mass media.

"Lecz jeszcze dalej odrzuciła Niemców wielka krakowska chorągiew, której sam Zyndram

przywodził, a na czele między przedchorągiewnymi szedł najstraszniejszy ze wszystkich

Polaków Zawisza Czarny herbu Sulima. (...) Pod okropną ręką Zawiszy ginęli bitni mężowie, jakby w tej czarnej zbroi sama śmierć szła im naprzeciw, on zaś walczył z namarszczoną brwią i ściśniętymi nozdrzami, spokojny, uważny, jakby zwykłą odbywał robotę; czasem równo poruszał tarczą, odbijał cios, lecz każdemu błyskowi jego miecza odpowiadał krzyk straszny porażonego męża, a on nie oglądał się nawet i szedł, pracując, naprzód jak czarna chmura, z której co chwila piorun wypada."


"But German knights were hurled still farther by the great Cracow regiment, which Zyndram himself brought, and at the head of which among the men before the banner went the most formidable of all Poles, Zavisha Charny. (...) Under the terrible hand of Zavisha valiant men perished, as if in that black armor death were advancing in person to meet them. He fought with frowning brow and distended nostrils, calm, attentive, as if performing some ordinary labor; at times he moved his shield slightly, warded off blows, but at each flash of his sword the terrible cry of a stricken man gave answer, while he did not even look around, but advanced, toiling forward, like a black cloud out of which from moment to moment a lightning flash crashes."


From the novel by Henryks Sienkiewicz: "Krzyżacy" (The Knights of the Cross).
