Honoring Tomasz Konieczny with the Medal of King John III Sobieski
King Jan III Sobieski medal. Andrew Pitynski, medal creator, is also an author of numerous sculptures for public monuments in the United States and Poland. A recipient of various honors and awards, during an interview he replied to a question on the role of monuments in life: a monument is an expressive symbol. A good one, looked at for even a few minutes will remain in memory for years or even for one’s entire lifetime. Monuments are the milestones in a nation’s history – they will not allow other systems and governments to destroy the core values of a national culture.

*The Village of Bronxville, only 15 miles north of midtown Manhattan, is a charming English-style village nestled along the banks of the Bronx River in southern Westchester County in New York. Bronxville’s architectural landscape is a captivating blend of history and artistry, making the village a veritable outdoor museum of various architectural styles. Among these, the predominant Tudor-style homes and buildings are the village’s crowning glory, giving it a distinct identity reminiscent of medieval English villages.
