Jan Matejko (1838-1893), The Baptism ofWladystaw Warnehczyk, 1881, oil
on canvas, 112 x 166cm, signed bottom left: J. M. rp. 1881, a bequest from
Zygmunt Stanislaw Sztrener, received from his heir, Hanna Kaminska in 1996.
Until 1993, the 100rh anniversary of Matejko’s death, the painting was
considered lost. It depicts an event from Polish history, the greeting of the
young son of King Wladyslaw Jagiello at the threshold of the Wawel cathedral
by Zbigniew Olesnicki, the Bishop of Cracow, and Mikolaj Glçbocki, the
archdeacon of Poznan. The painting was commissioned by the descendants of
Glçbocki. It is a valuable addition to the rich collection of Matejko’s paintings
in the National Museum in Warsaw.

Wojciech Weiss (1875-1950), Portrait of Stanislaw Florek, ca. 1902, tempera
on canvas, 85.5cm x 65.6cm, purchased in 1996 from the family of the artist,
inv. no. MP 5264. A portrait of the artist’s brother-in-law, in the opinion of
Wieslaw Juszczak, a representative example of the evolution of the bourgeois
portrait and a good psychological study of the model. The portrait was made
in the period of the painter’s best work and constitutes a supplement to the
relatively large collection of Weiss’s work in the National Museum in Warsaw,
in which landscapes and nudes from the 1930s, inconsistent with regard to
artistic level, predominate.
