The monument to Klemens Janicki, a Renaissance poet who wrote in Latin, stands where ul. 23 Lutego meets ul. Masztalarska, close to the Old Market Square. It was unveiled in December 2015.
Janicki, born in 1516, studied at the Poznań Lubrański Academy, and his first works were written here.
The poet sits on a chest, with a pen and a sheet of paper in his hands. The bronze figure stands on a 2.5-metre sandstone column, and the whole monument is about 4 metres high.
The authors are Joanna Buczak and Dariusz Wieczerzak, whose design won a competition of the Society for the Care of Monuments. The plinth bears the inscription “To forgotten poets”.
