  Young Poland. Polish Art 1890-1918

  The exhibition “Young Poland”, dedicated to Poland and the development of Polish art in its “golden period“, that is between 1890 and 1918, will be held in Japan in 2025. It will tell a story about Polish history, the prologue to which will be outlined by works by Jan Matejko and Artur Grottger, as well as about Polish art, which at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries was not only part of the process of constructing national identity, but also ensured Poland’s presence and successes in the art salons of Europe despite the fact that Poland did not exist on maps of the time.

  Matejko. The painter and history

  Among Polish painters, there is perhaps none more universally known than Jan Matejko. His works have accompanied generation after generation of Poles, at the very least from the beginnings of their education in the field of history, though mainly through reproductions in history books at that time. It is no exaggeration to say that the paintings of Matejko have shaped the imagination of the Polish nation on the greatest events of its own history. The painting “The Battle of Grunwald” (The painting is located in the National Museum in Warsaw)by this artist is the Polish painting most forcefully etched into the shared consciousness.

  No retouching. Jan Matejko

  Watercolours allow for very little possibility of retouching of correcting the image created. Painting in this medium involves the application of thin, nearly transparent layers of paint to the paper, through which the substrate is visible. The technique requires precision and accuracy. Once painted, a given fragment can only be very slightly modified by the application of further layers or by the removal of some of the pigment.

  MUSEUM POWER

  MUSEUM POWER is an experimental exhibition addressed to those of us who have visited a museum at least once in their lives and left it awestruck, or hated it or remained indifferent. We have been through that, too. What was happening to us then? How did our senses and cultural anchoring influence that experience? And how were we influenced by the museum itself?

  Exhibition of painting: Portrait of the Artist’s Son on Horseback

  Portraits occupy a special place in Jan Matejko’s art. As Stanisław Tarnowski wrote, “the artist’s portraits could be the subject of a separate and interesting study”. Among over one hundred portraits painted by Matejko, there are self-portraits and portraits of his closest ones.

  #heritage

  The exhibition #heritage at the National Museum in Krakow is a contribution to a discussion on the subject of Polish identity. On the eve of the centenary of Poland’s regaining independence this debate has become more dynamic, provoking reflection on ourselves, on the way we define our history, civilisation achievements, specificity of national culture and its relations with the surrounding world.
