Jan Matejko’s painting ‘Hołd pruski 1525’ (’Prussian Homage’) made alive in Kraków.
The team of actors recreated the scene painted by the artist Jan Matejko in late 19th century. The painting depicts the artist’s allegorical vision of a significant historical event from the Polish history when the Prussian Duke paid homage and swore allegiance to the Polish king Zygmunt (Sigismund) I the Old. The real event took place in 1525 on the Kraków’s Main Square. At that time Kraków was the Polish capital city.
