About the piece
Painted in 1856 by Józef Simmler, this dramatic narrative work captures the emotional farewell between Wacław and Maria. Simmler expertly contrasts the hard, reflective surfaces of the knight's plate armor with the soft, dark textures of Maria's attire, set against a moody, atmospheric landscape of departing soldiers.
