This album from The Collection of the National Museum in Cracow Series dedicated to Jan Matejko (1838-1893), shows the oeuvre of one on the most distinguished Polish artists, an outstanding history painter, from his earliest juvenelia to the works he painted towards the end of his life.  From the Museum's collections we have selected his finest and most interesting oil paintings, watercolours and drawings, supplementing them with works from other museums.  Some of them are being published for the first time.  The reproductions are accompanied by notes with information on the exhibits.  Works by Jan Matejko are to be found in two branches of the National Museum in Cracow, the Jan Matejko House, and the Gallery of Nineteenth-Century Polish Art in the Cloth Hall.
