Wernyhora is a legendary 18th century Cossack bard (bandurist) who prophesied the fall of Poland and its subsequent rebirth and flourishing, "from Black to White sea".
He has been a subject of several folklore tales and poems (particularly in the 19th century romanticism in Poland). Most notably he has been a character in works of Seweryn Goszczyński (Vernyhora), Michał Czajkowski (Wernyhora wieszcz ukraiński: powieść historyczna z roku 1768 (1838)), Juliusz Słowacki (Salomea's Silver Dream) and Stanisław Wyspiański (The Wedding), as well as a subject of a paintings by Jan Matejko and Jacek Malczewski.
