Janko Kráľ

Janko Kráľ (24 April 1822, Liptovský Mikuláš - 23 May 1876, Zlaté Moravce) was one of the most significant and most radical Slovak romantic poets of the Ľudovít Štúr generation, and a national activist. We don't know exactly how he looked, but several more or less popular supposed pictures of him exist. One of them was used as a model for the statue of Janko Kráľ, located in a park in Bratislava- Petržalka, which bears his name. He is buried at the National Cemetery in Martin.
