About the piece

Created in 1818 by Michał Stachowicz, this monochromatic work depicts the apotheosis of Tadeusz Kościuszko. The neoclassical composition combines symbolic mourning motifs—a woman leaning on a funerary urn and a shield with the Polish eagle—with divine imagery as an angel holds a crown of stars over the central portrait. Its sophisticated sepia palette and scholarly subject matter offer a timeless, elevated aesthetic for traditional spaces.
