The painting captures a grand feast held by Kraków’s wealthy merchant, Albert Wierzynek in 1364, meant to unify Polish nobility against the Teutonic Knights. The scene showcases elaborate costumes and a bustling crowd, exemplifying Matejko's mastery of historical detail and his ability to bring the past to life.
