History, Religious and Mythological Paintings

The Prussian Homage is an oil on canvas painting by the Polish painter Jan Matejko, painted between 1879 and 1882 in Krakow. It depicts the Prussian Homage, a significant political event of the Polish Renaissance in which Albrecht of Hohenzollern, Duke of Prussia, paid tribute and swore allegiance to King Sigismund I the Old in Krakow's market square on 10 April 1525. Matejko depicted more than thirty notable figures of the Polish Renaissance, including several who were not actually present at the event.
