Portrait of Boleslav III Krivoustou by Jan Aloisy Matejko

Portrait of Boleslav III Krivoustou by Jan Aloisy Matejko

In August 1890, Gozhkovsky wrote in his diary: “The artist began to draw kings.” This work was proposed by Matejko Vienna publisher Maurizio Perles, who planned to make the album “Kings of Poland – a collection of historical portraits.”

The artist, constantly experiencing financial difficulties, happily agreed to take it. He made 44 portraits of Polish rulers from Metko I to Stanislav August. Krakow historians Stanislav Smolka and August Sokolovsky supplemented them with scientific commentaries.

In Mateiko’s work, knowledge in the field of history and anthropometry proved extremely useful. For example, the figures of Casimir the Great and Queen Hedwigi he wrote, using information about the structure of their remains. After the death of the artist, “Kings of Poland” were published in color. Above is a portrait of Boleslaw III Krivostoy from this series.
