This painting celebrates one of the most important names in the history of science, Polish mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473—1543); known for his theory, published in 1543, which proposed the solar system with the sun at its centre and the planets orbiting around it. Matejko painted the enormous canvas in 1873 to mark the 400th anniversary of the astronomer’s birth.
