I was recently on a trip to Wrocław and I saw panorama of Racławice (recommend👌) but in the picture I saw an unusual thing:
a highlander in the middle of cracovian peasants. so, I asked my history teacher if that situation would happened. she said no, only the local peasants took part in the Kościuszko Uprising.
so it was just the artists vision. but what could the vision of Wojech Kossak and Jan Styka, a highlander among Cracovians, represent?
in my opinion i think that authors of this picture wanted to show connectivity beetween different poles.
At that time, such an image was very useful for the quarreling nation after the partitions.
