Finis Poloniae 1831 - painting in the collection of the Old National Gallery in Berlin

Variants of the name:
„Koniec Polski 1831”

Finis Poloniae 1831 is an oil painting by the German painter Dietrich Monten in 1832, held in the collection of the Old National Gallery in Berlin. The painter painted it one year after the fall of the November Uprising and it depicts the mood of the period. The Latin title Finis Poloniae 1831 means 'The End of Poland 1831' and referred to Tadeusz Kościuszko's outcry on 10 October 1794 after the defeat at Maciejowice. Kościuszko vehemently denied having uttered the sequence, but Prussian propaganda spread it. German-language poets and writers composed many songs and poems praising the Polish insurgents and commemorating the November Uprising. These songs are called Polenlieder, or Songs about Poland. The painting has been reproduced many times and appeared as part of the decoration of everyday objects.
