The Silesian Angel is the pseudonym of Wroclaw-born Johannes Scheffler, a Catholic priest, physician, poet and mystic. The author of the sculpture, Ewa Rossano, showed Shefler as a creatively gifted person who always has two wings. One of the wings, polished to a shine, comes from the heart - this is his inspiration. Everything that is born from inspiration is able to penetrate into the hearts of other people. The sculpture is located in the courtyard of the Ossolineum National Library, at the address - Szewska, 37.
