This text is a form of reflection on the secrets of the personality of Krystyna Herling-Grudzińska and was written on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of the paintress. In this short essay Krystyna is shown above all as a woman who inspired eminent Polish writers and who can be considered among the ‘Muses’ of Polish literature of the second part of the 19th century. The image of the artist’s personality conveyed in the paper is based mainly on the poems Władysław Broniewski dedicated to her.
