''Zawieszenie dzwonu Zygmunta'' ((ポーランド語:Zawieszenie dzwonu Zygmunta na wieży katedry w roku 1521 w Krakowie), English: ''The Hanging of the Sigismund bell at the Cathedral Tower in 1521 in Kraków'') is a painting by Jan Matejko finished in 1874. It depicts the installation of the Sigismund Bell in the Wawel Cathedral in Kraków in 1521. The bell was installed in the Sigismund Tower and rung for the first time on 13 July 1521.〔 〕 The bell is considered to be one of the national symbols of Poland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sigismund Bell | poland.gov.pl )〕 This painting is one of a number of historical paintings by Matejko. It shows a crowd of people, with a number of identifiable figures of historical importance. It conveys the Golden Era of the Polish Renaissance, and the power of the Kingdom of Poland. There are several alternative names for the painting. They include ''The consecrating of the Sigismund bell...'' (''Poświęcenie dzwonu Zygmunta...''), as proposed by Mieczysław Treter,〔 ''The raising of the Sigismund bell...'', ''King Sigismund's Bell'', or just ''Sigismund Bell'' (''Dzwon Zygmunta'').〔 ==History== The ''Sigismund Bell'' painting was created in 1874.〔 During his work, Matejko commissioned craftsmen to create a replica of a scaffolding that was used to move the bell, and he identified its likely original location, in order for it to be portrayed realistically.〔 There are numerous anecdotes associated with this painting.〔 Matejko used his family for models, and likely the painting contains nearly all the members of his family.〔 The painting was well received by contemporaries, and Stanisław Tarnowski published an extensive and positive review in 1875 in ''Przegląd Polski''.〔 The work was displayed in Paris in 1875, and probably contributed to Matejko's recognition by the Académie française; three years later it was displayed there again, during the Exposition Universelle (1878), and (together with two other paintings – the ''Unia lubelska (Union of Lublin)'' and ''Wacław Wilczek'') yielded him an honorary golden medal.〔 The painting is in the collection of the National Museum, Warsaw.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Serce, które waży... 350 kg!, Monika Hyla )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zawieszenie dzwonu Zygmunta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
