About the piece
Painted in 1860 by Aleksander Kotsis, this work captures the stark reality and deep community bonds of Polish highlanders. The composition balances the intimate human tragedy of the funeral with the eternal majesty of the mountains, rendered in atmospheric earth tones and soft alpine light.
