TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 23 cm N2 - This article discusses the function that the coffin portrait played after burial — a question that has not yet been discussed in the literature of the subject. The image of the deceased, when hung in a sacred space, preserved his or her memory and emphasised that person’s “presence” during the liturgy. The basis for the analysis is primarily constituted by the inscriptions identifying the deceased which accompanied the image and were usually placed on separate metal plates attached to the coffin together with the portrait. These texts are often in the form of panegyrics and contain phrases addressed mainly to participants in religious practices following the burial. The inscriptions reflect the different visions of the afterlife held by Catholics and Protestants L1 - http://rcin.org.pl/Content/236588/270937.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Kwartalnik Historii Kultury Materialnej R. 69 Nr 4 PY - 2021 IS - 4 EP - 526 KW - Culture of Old Poland KW - coffin portrait KW - epitaph portrait KW - epitaph KW - missae pro defunctis KW - grave banner KW - vexilla epitaphalia KW - purgatory soul A1 - Jankowski, Aleksander PB - Instytut Archeologii i Etnologii Polskiej Akademii Nauk VL - 69 CY - Warszawa SP - 513 T1 - „Wieczny jak piramidy pomnik nieśmiertelnej pamięci”.
