God the father - Arise, Stained glass window in Church of St. Francis of Assisi, Kraków, Poland
The stained glass window displays God the Father as an elderly figure with a white beard, holding one hand above his head and pointing to Earth.
Polish artist Stanisław Wyspiański created this stained glass masterwork in 1904 as part of his extensive design contributions to the Franciscan church in Kraków.
This window illustrates the biblical creation story from Genesis, where God creates heaven, earth, celestial bodies, and ultimately forms humans in divine image.
The window combines colored glass segments arranged in geometric patterns that generate different visual effects based on natural light throughout the day.
The artist incorporated modern artistic elements and natural shapes while maintaining traditional religious symbolism in the early twentieth-century design.
