Polish art in the latter half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th was heavily influenced by the goings-on at one of the nation's oldest art schools, the <strong>Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków</strong>. This exhibition will take you through the main players, including historical painter <strong>Jan Matejko</strong> (the artist most ingrained in Polish national consciousness, responsible for monumental works like <em>Battle of Grunwald</em>), playwright-painter-poet Stanisław Wyspiański, and folk-scene lover Włodzimierz Tetmajer.
