Reviews from visitors:
It is a statue of the famous Polish painter Jan Matejko (1838-1893), who was born and lived in nearby Florianska Street. Jan Matejko earned his name by painting some big canvasses with historical events, particularly the 'Battle of Grunwald', and 'Union of Lublin.' His works are also on display at the Vatican museums. The sculpture of his is done by Jan Tutai in 2013. Previously there was a tomb of a soviet soldier which was transferred to the military cemetery. The area is also named after Jan Matejko including an adjacent street. It is a nice sculpture as the square indicates the large canvasses that he once painted. As it is blended with the surrounding natural settings, many a time tourists fail to notice it.
Very unique but beautiful monument.
Fantastic sculpture of a great painter.
Relaxing place
Very cool monument of a Polish painter in a picture frame.
