Henryk Sienkiewicz Monument Warsaw

The Henryk Sienkiewicz monument is a bronze statue in a Warsaw park showing the writer seated with manuscript pages dropping from his hands. His facial features are rendered with careful attention to detail.

The monument was unveiled in 1999 to honor a Nobel Prize-winning author whose literary career spanned from the 1840s into the early 1900s. His novels shaped Polish literature during this era.

The bas-reliefs on the sides show flames that represent Polish historical events that Sienkiewicz depicted in his novels. These visual elements connect the writer to the major moments of his nation's past.

The statue sits in an alley running parallel to a major avenue and is easy to locate and visit. The location allows visitors to explore the monument within a quiet park setting.

Sculptor Kazimierz Gustaw Zemła created the monument with funding from collectors who founded the John Paul II Collection. This connected the statue to an important art collecting initiative.
