History of Poland, part III

[BardDandelion]

Hello!

Yesterday posted first build from third part of my project - History of Poland.

The third part of the series covers the period from the loss to the regaining of independence. During these difficult times, Poles repeatedly took up arms, trying to break the chains imposed by force. This period contributed significantly to building national identity, numerous works of art were created, Poles also achieved a lot in a field of science.

Ten builds of Part III will present events and characters from the end of XVIIIth century to the 1918.

IV part, that will cover years 1918-1945, will be built and posted in 2026.

Will update this post with every new build. ;)

Two previous parts may be checked in dedicated topics on EB forum:
Part I
Part II

 

Partitions of Poland, 1772, 1793, 1795
 

The gradual weakening of the Commonwealth at the end of the 18th century led to the conquest, division, and colonization of the country by three neighboring powers – Russia, Prussia, and Austria. Lacking a strong army, the country was unable to implement reforms and resist the three invaders. For Poland, the 123-year period of partition began, when the country disappeared from maps and existed solely in the hearts and minds of Poles.

A scene symbolically depicts this event. In an elegant, classicist palace, three monarchs, leaning over a map, establish the new borders. This is a reference to period illustrations that depicted the partitions in a similar manner.

Love the chandelier. And the table supports. Not to mention the mirror frame. And the giant shelf covers the corner nicely.
