In March 1891, she married Bartłomiej Józef Popławski (1861-1931) a Russian-Polish railway engineer (1861-1931) who later became president of the Warsaw Shipping and Trade Society.

Bartłomiej had just been transferred the same year to Crimea (then part of the Russian Empire), due to poor health and was involved in the construction of the Feodosia-Dzhankoy railway line (1891-1895).

He spent the rest of the conflict in the POW camp for Polish officers "Oflag II-C" located in Woldenberg (today Dobiegniew, Lubusz Voivodeship).

In 1952, he took part in the soviet sponsored exhibition "100 Years of Realism in Poland" (Russian: 100 лет "реализма" в Польше) in Moscow.

As an outcome of a 1954 competition, he was granted the realization of a monument to Adam Mickiewicz placed in 1955 in the front yard of the "Palace of Culture and Science" in Warsaw.

[7] At the end of the 1950s, inspired by archaic Greek and Etruscan sculptures, Horno-Popławski undertook new formal searches using the expression of natural shapes of "fieldstones", which gave him a high position among the 20th century sculptors.

Stanisław's works, during the post-war years, were exhibited in Poland, in Europe (Paris (1961), Berlin (1971), Bucharest (1972), Oslo and Essen (1974)), as well as in Asia (New Delhi, Kolkata, Bombay, Beijing).

[2] He won recognition for his merits in favour of the Polish Culture (1962, 1965, 1995) and was even awarded a gold medal at the "Contemporary Art Biennale" in Florence in 1969.

[6] From 1979 to 1983, thanks to Marian Turwid's suggestion,[3] the sculptor moved to a small house in the botanical garden of Bydgoszcz, looking for a city "whose character guarantees the possibility of quiet creative work, and whose atmosphere is devoid of nervous hustle and bustle, which absorbs and disturbs focused actions".

[8] On July 22 of this year, then the official holiday in the Polish People's Republic, Horno-Popławski opened in the city garden an open-air gallery of his compositions, which he donated.

The collection included the following works: "Partisan", "Memories of Bagrati", "Morena", "Copernicus", "Tadeusz Breyer", "Tehura", "Gruzinka", "Waiting", "Szota Rustawelli", "Colchida", "Żal", "Pogodna", "Beethoven" and "Hair".

Stanisław's uncles were: During 5 months they hid Józef Piłsudski (1867–1935) feigning mental illness, who has been sent for a medical examination after his arrest in Łódź.

Using their official positions, Jan, together with other physicians (Władysław Mazurkiewicz, Aleksander Sulkiewicz and others) helped Piłsudski to escape to Galicia.

In 1924, at the personal invitation of Józef Piłsudski, Jan left Leningrad at the age of 65 for Warsaw to attend his seriously ill brother Bartholomew-Joseph, and stayed there.

Popławski's collection is today the pride of the National Museum in Warsaw, including, among others, works from Rubens, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Tintoretto, Jordaens or Jan Steen.

[18] Widowed in 1933, Jan moved to a rented apartment at 16 Chłodna street in Warsaw, where his private medical practice received a large high-ranking clientele, in particular Józef Piłsudski.

In the last years of his life, he progressively drifted away from the classical line towards compositions realized from slightly worked rough stones.

This cycle is rated as "oneiric, intuitively archetypal, symbolic" representing "metacultural female heads, which he developed until the last days of his life.

The monument is made of stone and represents one of the leaders of the Kościuszko Uprising on a pedestal, by the riverside boulevard over the Słupia River, in the vicinity of the local seat of the Craft Guild.

The inscription plaque is still in the storage of the Włocławek Museum of the Kujawy and Dobrzyń lands (Polish: Muzeum Ziemi Kujawskiej i Dobrzyńskiej we Włocławku).

Unveiled on December 29, 1986, on the 68th anniversary of the Greater Poland Uprising, it is set up at the very place where originally stood the tomb containing the ashes of an unknown insurgent who died in June 1919.
