Sobieski in Jan Matejko's Częstochowa. Around the Figure and Painting

18.10.2018-17.02.2019 Sobieski in Jan Matejko's Częstochowa. Around the Figure and Painting

Exhibition "Sobieski in Jan Matejko's Częstochowa. Around the character and Painting" in the Jan Matejko House commemorates the 180th birth anniversary and the 125th death anniversary of one of the greatest Polish artists, the representative of historical painting. The creators of the exhibition stress Matejko's interest in the figure of the "Last Knight of Christianity".

Matejko painted the events related to the Battle of Vienna and the figure of King John III Sobieski a few times during his artistic work.

"He made figure sketches, composition sketches, the design of the king's statue, and painted him in the piece 'Clothing in Poland' " – says Marta Kłak-Ambrożkiewicz, manager of the Jan Matejko House – a branch of the NMK and the exhibition's curator.

According to the curator, painting John III Sobieski in Częstochowa from 1859 already at the early stage of his career shows Matejko's solicitude for details. Spectators' attention will be drawn to academic finishings and emotional scenes; constructed by the painter with a director-like virtuosity.
The exhibition is accompanied by a display of painting props and composition sketches coming from the NMK collection - the Jan Matejko House.
