This is a reproduction of " Adoption of the 1791 Polish Constitution " of 1891 by Jan Matejko. The adoption of a constitution for the kingdom of Poland in 1791 was a momentous event in Polish history for it marked the heroic attempt of the Polish people to throw off the tyranny of German and Russian influence in the affairs of their kingdom. Their efforts were ill-fated at the end of the 18th century, but bloomed to success in the early twentieth century, though the travails of Poland was still not over when independence was regained in 1918. The original painting is in the National Museum of Poland in Warsaw.
