Jan Matejko Monument, Bronze memorial statue in Eye of the Sea Park, Mokotów district, Poland.
The Jan Matejko Monument in Mokotów shows the artist holding a palette and brush. Beside the pedestal stands the bronze sculpture of Stańczyk, a court jester from the 16th century.
Sculptor Marian Konieczny created the monument in 1989, and it was unveiled in 1994. The factory Gliwickie Zakłady Urządzeń Technicznych manufactured the bronze casting.
The monument honors Matejko's role as an artist who recorded Polish history through large paintings. His works shaped how future generations of artists learned their craft and viewed their nation.
The monument sits near Puławska Street and is easy to reach by public transportation. It serves as a popular meeting spot for cultural events and educational walks through the area.
The monument links two art forms: the sculptured figure of the artist and a person from his most famous work. This connection creates a physical bridge between Matejko's artistic creation and one of his major paintings from 1862.
