A new picture of you Painting

This picture was taken to mark the 30th anniversary of the Münster-Lublin town partnership. The idea was to let Mother Germania and Mother Polonia paint each other a new picture of each other - because of the terrible history between the two peoples. So the characters paint themselves. On one side, on the left, the mother Germania. Her predecessor was Tusnelda, from whom the myth arose. Tusnelda was the wife of Arminius, who won the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest and destroyed the legions of Varus. She was later captured by the Romans and paraded through the streets of Rome, humiliated as a prisoner by making one breast bare and the other covered with a tunic. This is also how she was depicted on coins of the time. This image gave rise to the myth of Mother Germania with the sword in hand. The model for the mother Germania is the German actress Jeanne Goursaud, who played Tusenelda in the television series "The Barbarians", On the right is Mother Polonia, who later embodied the pain of the Polish people. The symbolic representation of a country is in the tradition of Greek and Roman antiquity. The patroness among the goddesses was Minerva as one of the three highest deities. A close connection between Mother Plonia and Mary, Mother of God, later demonstrated responsibility for the world beyond and this world. The former hymn of praise to Mother Polonia turned into a melancholy elegy, which, however, established the connection to the Polish mother through the motherhood of Mary. It should provide comfort and confidence. After the failed uprising in 1863, the humiliated and shackled Polonia was a symbol of the loss of statehood and the oppression of the Polish nation by the occupying powers Russia, Austria and Prussia. This image is intended to illustrate the partnership between both countries; a new image is intended to replace the old prejudices.
