The event presented by jan matejko was the result of the conflict on may 14, 1549 in krakow, between students of the krakow academy and the servants of the canon priest andrzej czarnkowski. The servants attacked the student dormitory and injured the students. The case was brought to court through the intercession of king sigismund augustus, but the trial was not conducted reliably. Some of the outraged students decided to leave krakow and move to other universities. The artist painted the moment when students leave krakow in droves. In the background, the buildings of krakow and the visible barbican, as well as the wooden buildings of wiśnicz. The painting with a large group of crowding figures is painted in browns and yellows with accents of red and dark green. (marta kłak-ambrożkiewicz). Object Type: painting. Date: 1892.
