  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.

  Adam Marczyński. Lyricism and Form

  The presentation of more than 60 works from the collections of the National Museum in Krakow and the Museum of Art in Łódź aims to highlight the moment at which the artistic credo of Adam Marczyński was taking form, where the caesura is the 1940s to the mid-1960s. The exhibition examines the post-war output of the artist, who in his later years became interested in geometric abstraction. It is an excellent opportunity to juxtapose the artist’s painted works with the subtle, even poetic drawings and outstanding monotypes. The story ends with works associated with the geometric abstraction movement. Marczyński’s art.

  Glitter of gold. From the Collection of the Numismatic Cabinet

  The Emeryk Hutten-Czapski Museum is a very special place. It is first and foremost a kind of national treasury, where the most precious collection of Polish coins and medals is stored. Additionally, it is perhaps the only collection of this type which survived the Second World War virtually without losses despite comprising mainly objects made of gold, which were frequently the first victims of wartime looting and pillage by occupying forces and individuals exploiting the chaos and disruptions of that time.

  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.
