Apollo - the Copernican Solar System, Stained glass window at Medical Society House in Krakow, Poland.

The stained glass window presents Apollo bound to a lyre, surrounded by celestial bodies including Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Earth, and Venus.

Stanislaw Wyspianski completed this stained glass masterwork in 1905 as part of the decorative elements for the newly constructed Medical Society House.

This stained glass creation stands as the only secular building installation among Wyspianski's stained glass works, based on his original pastel drawing.
