Statue of Jan Ignacy Skorupka

1 review of Statue of Jan Ignacy Skorupka

Symbol of the Battle of Warsaw

Símbolo de la Batalla de Varsovia

Frente a la Catedral de San Miguel Arcangel y San Florian se ha herigido un monumento a uno de los más ilustres vecinos de Varsovia, el sacerdote católico y mando del ejércidto polaco Ignacy Jan Skorupka, cuya muerte se convirtió en todo un símbolo de la Batalla de Varsovia allá por 1920 (el hombre en cuestión falleció concretamente el día 14 de agosto de dicho año). Para rendir tributo a su paisano, la ciudad levantó esta broncinea escultura de cuerpo entero que simula movimiento en la que Skorupka aparece querer avanzar hacia adelante mientras su estola y capa hondean en el viento. A sus pies, en un alto pináculo de piedra, se puede ver el emblema de su regimiento/división. A su derecha, en letras doradas, se ha escrito su nombre y su fecha de nacimiento y muerte. La estatua está situada justo enfrente de la alta iglesia, a mano izquierda, entre los espacios verdes que dan la bienvenida al templo. Es muy fácil de encontrar.

To pay tribute to his countryman, the city built this full body sculpture bronze that simulates movement which appears Skorupka wanting to go forward while hondean his stole and cape in the wind. At his feet, a high pinnacle of stone, you can see the emblem of his regiment / division. To his right, in gold, has written his name and date of birth and death. The statue is located right across from the High Church, on the left, between the green spaces that welcome the temple. It is very easy to find.
