Artur Grottger\u2019s brief visit to Krak\u00f3w on 27 January 1865 provided an opportunity to take this commemorative photograph (the specific date is confirmed by an inscription on a large boulder). Based on the memoirs of one of the participants, Adam Be\u0142cikowski, the people in the photograph can be identified. They are: Jan Kanty Turski (1833\u20131870), J\u00f3zef Jaroszy\u0144ski (1835\u20131900), Artur Grottger (1837\u20131867), Kazimierz Hofman (1842\u20131911), Feliks Szynalewski (1825\u20131892), J\u00f3zef Szujski (1835\u20131883), Jan Matejko (1838\u20131893), Edward Lubowski (1837\u20131923), Adam Be\u0142cikowski (1839\u20131909), Micha\u0142 Ba\u0142ucki (1837\u20131901), Parys Filippi (1836\u20131874), Aleksander Gostkowski (1839\u20131892), Henryk Szyma\u0144ski (1839\u20131885), Franciszek Micha\u0142 Wyspia\u0144ski (1837\u20131901), Aleksander Kotsis (1836\u20131877), Franciszek Mokrzycki (dates unknown), Florian Cynk (1838\u20131912), W\u0142adys\u0142aw Ludwik Anczyc (1823\u20131883), Walery Gadomski (1833\u20131911) and Walery Rzewuski (1837\u20131888).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original photograph was taken by Walery Rzewuski at his establishment on Kopernika Street, and the figures were picturesquely posed in the courtyard of the outbuilding by Artur Grottger himself. However, this specific print was made by J\u00f3zef Sebald, as evidenced by the dry stamp in the bottom right-hand corner of the print, which was made from Walery Rzewuski\u2019s negative after 1893. At that time, Sebald took over Rzewuski\u2019s photographic studio, along with the negatives, from which he produced numerous prints.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"792\" data-id=\"38358\" src=\"https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dwudziestu-mlodych-przyjaciol-1024x792.jpg\" alt=\"Sepiowa fotografia grupowa kilkunastu m\u0119\u017cczyzn stoj\u0105cych i siedz\u0105cych na kamieniach i stopniach, ubranych w d\u0142ugie p\u0142aszcze z futrzanymi ko\u0142nierzami i r\u00f3\u017cne nakrycia g\u0142owy, pozuj\u0105cych przed elewacj\u0105 budynku z du\u017cymi oknami, z widocznym kamieniem z napisem &quot;1865&quot;.\" class=\"wp-image-38358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dwudziestu-mlodych-przyjaciol-1024x792.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dwudziestu-mlodych-przyjaciol-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dwudziestu-mlodych-przyjaciol-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dwudziestu-mlodych-przyjaciol-1920x1486.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We invite you to explore the material on this item in the digital catalogue of the National Museum in Krak\u00f3w\u2019s collections.
