 Understanding Matejko's painting "The Battle of Grunwald"
Zawisza was a knight of a type of which many frequented the courts of Europe and who, representing example of general virtue, took part professionally in tourneys of jousting for tournament prizes.
In time, Zawisza became a symbol, an exemplar, who was generally not viewed as connected with a particular court, though he most frequently was a guest of the Luksemburgs, the Imperial Austrian clan - hence in the painting we find a fastener of his coat which is remindful of an Austrian order.
Matejko's Zawisza is lightly armored, as if he were to taking part, as usual for him, in a routine tourney, not a fight to the death.

A little over a Jupiter cycle ago, during the 1992 Tall Ships Race, I had the privilege of serving as music/history instructor/performer and liaison officer aboard the 140-ft Polish staysail schooner Zawisza Czarny.
Despite their exhaustion from weeks of crossing the Atlantic and the excitement of the huge tall ship gathering on the Mersey, the crew managed a high-energy, four-hour session that documented the extraordinary musical performances of the voyage.
