more The bronze bust portrait depicts Julian Fałat (1853–1929), the successor of Matejko in the post of director of the School of Fine Arts and the first rector of the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Fałat, who was appointed to the post of director of School of Fine Arts in 1895, carried out the reform of the university. He closed Matejko’s studio of historical painting and brought to Kraków a large group of professors representing new trends in art, including: Teodor Axentowicz (1895), Leon Wyczółkowski (1895), Konstanty Laszczka (1905), Jacek Malczewski (1896), Jan Stanisławski (1897), Józef Mehoffer (1900), Stanisław Wyspiański (1902), Józef Pankiewicz (1906), Ferdynand Ruszczyc (1906) and Wojciech Weiss (1907).
Konstanty Laszczka began working as a provisional teacher at the School of Fine Arts in 1895. A year later, the sculptor obtained the title of associate professor, and in 1905, full professor. The appointment of Laszczka to the university brought a new quality to the teaching of sculpture at the School of Fine Arts, and later the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Previously, the university had been dominated by the influence of two eminent sculptors: Walery Gadomski and Alfred Daun, who taught academic realism.
At first, Laszczka and Fałat had a strictly professional relationship. As time went by, the artists became friends and maintained a close relationship until Fałat’s death in 1929. Besides the present bust of a friend, Laszczka made several portraits of his wife, Maria Fałatowa, who was famously beautiful. Her portrait from 1902 – exhibited in Kraków, Prague and Vienna – gained Laszczka acclaim as an outstanding portraitist.
