| | It is the largest of Matejko's paintings and it is regarded as a masterpiece of battle scene painting. | | | During his lengthy travels his obvious talent for grandiose paintings was discovered by both the public and the art critics. | | | In his short life of only 55 years Matejko achieved a gigantic work, and further inspired the forerunners of Polish Art Nouveau artists, Stanislaw Wyspianski, Jacek Malczewski, and Józef Mehoffer, to continue and renew Polish art. |

| | 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. | | | Somewhere, perhaps hidden away in some exiled Count's library in Paris or London, is a copy of the elusive 'Album of Jan Matejko', a folio collection of three volumes that was published in Vienna in the 1870's. | | | This brought together the cream of work by Poland's best loved artist of the nineteenth century, Jan Matejko (1838-1893), one of the grand old men of Polish art. |

| | Wojciech Kossak - |
| | Like Matejko, however, he is known for paintings depicting the history of Polish arms and notable battles of Central and Eastern Europe. | | | Wojciech Kossak's work was very different in subject matter and style from Jan Matejko's; Kossak belonged to a later generation of artists. | | | Wojciech Kossak (Paris, France, December 31, 1857 – July 29, 1942, Kraków, Poland) was a Polish painter and member of the celebrated Kossak family of painters and writers. |

| | artnet.com: Resource Library: Matejko, Jan |
| | 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. | | | This role first became widely associated with Matejko with his painting of Stanczyk (1862; Warsaw, N. Mus.), the court jester to King Sigismund I (1437–1548), to whom Matejko gave his own features. | | | 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. |
