The Life of Matthew Troyan Part 1

Matthew Troyan was born February 19, 1913 in Kielce

, Opatow County, Poland and was the youngest surviving child of seven. His father Pawel, was a decorative blacksmith and traveled extensively throughout Poland to create decorative gates, iron railings, and iron ornamentation for wealthy clients. Unfortunately Pawel died in 1916 when Matthew was only 3 years old and the responsibilities for raising the children fell on the shoulders of the Mother, Franciszka, and the oldest son Jan. Jan worked, after completing his education, as a foreman in a steel mill in Germany and also earned money as a translator because of his perfect German. The family worked very hard to maintain itself but also was confronted by another tragedy when Cassimere, Matthews oldest sister, died of a massive infection from an untreated would that resulted from an accidental fall. Cassimere died one week after her father at the age of 17. She was a young, vibrant, and very promising artist.

Education was prized in the family and although it was difficult, all the children finished school. Marian, one of Matthew's other brothers, continued in school and achieved a Doctorate in History but then chose to follow his passion and become a stage actor. During his career, he became quite famous as an actor in Poland. As Marian grew older, he continued to develop his lifelong interest in antiques and fine art and opened a shop in which he sold not only paintings of well known artists, but also his own artwork. Marian had painted since he was a young boy and was considered to be quite accomplished but had no formal training.

I will write more on Mr. Matthew Troyan and his life in my next article. It is now time that the World comes to know one of the Greatest Artists of the World and understand the power of his work. It is my pleasure and privilege to champion the works of Matthew Troyan.
