Jan Matejko Monument in Kraków, Bronze memorial statue in Planty Park, Kraków, Poland.
The monument presents Jan Matejko seated in an armchair within a large empty picture frame near the Barbican fortification.
The monument, inaugurated in 2013, commemorates the 175th anniversary of Jan Matejko's birth and 120th anniversary of his death in Kraków.
The memorial honors Jan Matejko, who created large oil paintings of Polish historical events and educated numerous Polish painters at the Academy of Fine Arts.
Visitors can find the monument by walking north from Kraków Old Town through Planty Park, between a pond and the medieval Barbican.
The statue stands along the path Matejko used daily between his residence and the Academy of Fine Arts, which now bears his name.
