This artistic work, titled "Karton do polichromii Kościoła Mariackiego – Fryz o motywach geometrycznych" translates to "Cartoon for the Polychromy of St. Mary's Church – Frieze with Geometric Motifs." Painted between 1889 and 1891, this piece was meant as a design for the interior decoration of the historic St. Mary's Church in Krakow.The painting features a mesmerizing pattern of interlaced leaf-like elements, laid out in a symmetric and geometric arrangement. The color palette is soft yet vibrant, utilizing shades of yellow, orange, and pastel tones set against a muted grey background, giving a soothing yet lively effect. The precision of the geometric design along with the soft flow of watercolors provides a stunning visual contrast, reflecting Matejko’s mastery in handling different motifs and media.This painting not only represents a decorative plan but also showcases Matejko's versatility beyond his well-known historical compositions. It’s a testament to his artistic contribution to ecclesiastical art and his ability to influence the aesthetic of cultural monuments through his unique visual language.

Jan Alojzy Matejko was a Polish painter, a leading 19th-century exponent of history painting, known for depicting nodal events from Polish history. His works include large scale oil paintings such as Rejtan (1866), the Union of Lublin (1869), the Astronomer Copernicus, or Conversations with God (1873), or the Battle of Grunwald (1878). He was the author of numerous portraits, a gallery of Polish monarchs in book form, and murals in St. Mary's Basilica, Kraków. He is considered by many as the most celebrated Polish painter, and sometimes as the "national painter" of Poland.
