Prompt: "It is not known who is the author of the painting. There are several theories about this, but they are just theories. The plot here is largely fictional. It tells about the author (invented by me), a Jesuit from Kalisz, who is already elderly and feels unfulfilled as a painter, as an artist. Mainly because around the same time as the painting of St. Józefa went to the collegiate church, to today's cathedral, i.e. the church of St. Nicholas was struck by a painting by Rubens himself. Our anonymous painter has a sense of inferiority, he has been struggling with it for many years and is becoming bitter. One day he finds out that more and more miracles are starting to take place in front of the picture he painted. He realizes that although he himself does not have Rubens' talent, his painting, his work, has been chosen by Heaven as an absolutely extraordinary work."
