Janko Kráľ (Hungarian: Král János; 24 April 1822 in Liptovský Svätý Mikuláš (now Liptovský Mikuláš, Slovakia) – 23 May 1876 in Zlaté Moravce) was one of the most significant and most radical Slovak romantic poets of the Ľudovít Štúr generation and a national activist. Because of his obscure personality, it is not known exactly what he looked like, 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 called Sad Janka Kráľa (literally Janko Kráľ Orchard) in Bratislava - Petržalka. He is buried in the National Cemetery in Martin. Read more on Wikipedia
