"Prussian Homage" or "Prussian Tribute" (Polish: "Hołd pruski") is a significant historical painting by the renowned Polish artist Jan Matejko, completed in 1882. The artwork is a monumental canvas, measuring 388 cm × 875 cm, and is currently housed in the National Museum in Kraków, Poland. It depicts a momentous event that took place on April 10, 1525, during which Albrecht Hohenzollern, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, paid homage to King Sigismund I the Old of Poland, acknowledging Polish sovereignty over Prussia.

The painting is a masterful representation of this diplomatic ceremony, which effectively secularized the Teutonic Order's remaining territories and transformed them into the Duchy of Prussia, with Albrecht as its first duke. This act was a significant turning point in Central European history, as it marked the decline of the Teutonic Order's power and the rise of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a dominant regional force.

Matejko, known for his detailed historical paintings, meticulously researched the event to ensure the accuracy of the costumes, heraldry, and setting. The composition is rich in symbolism and political commentary, reflecting the artist's patriotic sentiments and his views on Poland's historical role in the region. The painting is celebrated for its intricate detail, dramatic portrayal of the figures, and its vivid narrative quality, which brings a pivotal moment in Polish history to life.

"Prussian Homage" is considered one of Matejko's masterpieces and is a prime example of 19th-century Polish historical painting. It has been widely analyzed and interpreted by art historians and remains an important cultural artifact that continues to inspire discussions about national identity, power dynamics, and the complexities of historical memory.
