*************

He was the son of Jan Styka:

Among Styka's important works is the large scene of Saint Peter preaching the Gospel in the Catacombs (seen here) painted in Paris in 1902. His renowned panoramas include Bem in Siedmiogrod (1897), The Martydrom of Christians in Nero's Circus (1897), and at the Wrocław Branch of the National Museum of Poland is the monumental collaboration The Battle of Racławice painted in 1894.

Styka died in 1925 and was buried in Rome. However, in 1959 Hubert Eaton arranged with Styka's family for his remains to be brought to the United States for interment in the "Hall of The Immortals" at Forest Lawn cemetery.

Sons Tadeusz "Tade" Styka (pl) (1889–1954) and Adam Styka (1890–1959) were both painters.
