Jan Matejko Statue

Here he is, seated calmly as if still in his frame—the famous Polish painter Jan Matejko. If you haven’t heard of him before, know that he is Poland’s most renowned painter. He captured the most pivotal moments in Polish history on canvas. One of his most famous works is a self-portrait showing him sitting in an armchair. That exact painting was used as a model for this statue, commissioned by his hometown as a tribute to his legacy.
