	Jan Matejko: The Painter and Patriot Fostering Polish Nationalism
		Jan Matejko was born on June 24, 1838, in Kraków, the ninth child of Franciszek and Joanna.
		Thus Matejko was born and spent his early years in the Rzeczpospolita Krakowska (the Krakow Republic), a "Free City" created in the wake of Napoleon's defeat by the Congress of Vienna in 1915,.
		Matejko's work has to be viewed not only in artistic terms, but also in terms of the social function it performed and continues to perform today and the response it elicits.

	Krakow \| News \| A Forgotten String to a Master's Bow
		It's this largely forgotten strand of Matejko's work that provides the focus for the National Museum's current exhibition at the Matejko House, the splendid old townhouse where the artist was born (and eventually passed away) on Cracow's Florianska street.
		The great Matejko himself was in reality an incredibly small man, but he sported a rather splendid, seer-like beard that gave him the demeanour of an omniscient wizard.
		As the old saying goes, opposites attract, and this was the case with the Matejko marriage, and the couple brought forth a gaggle of children into the world.

		Jan Matejko was an historical painter whose work and life is honoured in the house where he was born, and would eventually die in the 1890s.
		As well as some witty imaginings of Kraków medieval life, studies for gargoyles and collections of Renaissance furniture and antique guns and ammo, the minutiae of Matejko's life is preserved, right down to his eyeglasses.
		This is a fascinating tribute to a genuine Polish master, and a man of many parts.

		After studying in Munich (1859) under the history painter Hermann Anschütz (1802–80) and then briefly and less successfully in Vienna, Matejko returned to Kraków, where he was based for the rest of his life.
		In 1860 Matejko issued an illustrated album, Ubiory w Polsce [‘Costumes in Poland from 1200 to 1795’] (later editions 1875 and 1901), a project reflecting his intense interest in historical records of all kinds and his desire to promote such interest among the Polish people in an effort to intensify their patriotic feelings.
		The jester is presented as a symbol of the nation’s conscience: he sits glumly in a chair apart from the other figures, alone in seeing that events during the wars against Moscow would ultimately end in tragedy.
