Jan Styka (1858–1925) was a Polish painter noted for producing large historical, battle-piece, and Christian religious panoramas. He was also an illustrator and poet and known for his great patriotic speeches.

His son Tadeusz “Tade” Styka (1889–1954) must have been struck by this image in his youth and produced a kind of homage. Sorry I could not find a larger image.
