                                          The Death of Ellenai by Jacek Malczewski
                                       Characteristic of the artist’s early work, which was
                                        permeated by the memories of people who had
                                          been imprisoned in Siberia, this painting was
                                             inspired by a poem by Juliusz Słowacki.
