It is a monumental (120 x 15 m) painting by Wojciech Kossak and Jan Styka. The Panorama was painted in Lvov between 1893 and 1894 to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of Kosciuszko insurrection. On 9th April 1944 the painting was badly damaged as a result of air bombing. It was therefore wound on a roller and placed in the monastery of Bernardines. In July 1946 the Soviet authorities handed over the painting to the Poles. For 40 years it was kept in warehouses. The opening of the Panorama didn't take place until 14th June 1985. It is one of the biggest panorama paintings in the world.
