The painting represents an artistic vision of the battle fought on 4 April 1794 in the vicinity of the villages Racławice, Dziemierzyce and Janowiczki by Polish forces under the command of Tadeusz Kościuszko against the Russian army. This was the first armed encounter in the so-called Kościuszko Uprising (Insurrection) – directed against imperial Russia and Prussia – intended to regain the sovereignty of Poland, lost as a result of the first and second partitions (1772 and 1793). Against the background of a realistic rendition of the landscape surrounding the battlefield, the artists painted individual events taking place there. The painting was created on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Racławice, which – as a victory exemplifying the Polish nation’s struggle for independence, overcoming its social divisions – gave courage to the insurgents fighting for the country’s freedom in the subsequent uprisings of November 1831 and January 1863, and also becoming an important source of inspiration for writers, poets and painters. The Panorama of the Battle of Racławice is the greatest Polish artistic tribute paid to Tadeusz Kościuszko, to his heroic scythe-armed peasantry and soldiers, as well as to all the other persons involved at that time in the fight for Poland’s freedom.
[Anna Jezierska]
