Matěj Rejsek (1445 - 1506) was a Czech builder, sculptor, stonemason, maverick, and genius of the Czech architectural style called Jagiellonian Gothic. He participated in the construction of the Powder Gate, the Týn Church in Prague, and then especially in the completion of the Church of St. Barbara in Kutná Hora.
The sandstone sculpture of the Musician with a bladder pipe from Rejsek's smelter formed part of the decoration of the so-called Hrádek in Kutná Hora.
Today it is stored in the Lapidary of the National Museum in Prague.
