The article presents issues concerning the interpretation of the prophecy of Isaiah (11, 1 - 3) in works of religious art. One of these works is the altar in the post-Dominican church in Klimontów near Sandomierz. The town belonged to the Ossoliński family from the 15th century. In the first half of In the 17th century, a Dominican church and monastery were built in Klimontów. In the altar, made around the mid-17th century, there is a carved and gilded wood of Jesse. The image of the Tree of Jesse surrounds the main part of the altar. It presents the content of the passions (from the top: St. Veronica's scarf, Judgment on Jesus, crucifix). The author of the article discusses the meaning of individual parts of the altar. He emphasizes that the content of the Virgin Mary - which appears in other representations of the Tree of Jesse - has not been shown in it. In the altar the idea was realized: announcement - fulfillment (an event from the New Testament is the fulfillment of what was announced in the Old Testament). In this case, the Tree of Jesse (the genealogy of Christ) foreshadows a Savior from the lineage of David. He is the king who triumphs from the cross.
