Finis Poloniae 

"Finis Poloniae" is a symbolic painting by Jacek Malczewski, a Polish artist known for his melancholic and often symbolic works. The painting depicts a seated, elderly man, likely representing Poland, in a somber state. A woman, symbolizing the spirit of Poland, leans over him and pours a liquid from a jar, perhaps symbolizing the country’s decline or demise. The man's posture and the woman's gesture evoke a sense of sorrow and loss, reflecting the hardships faced by Poland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting is a powerful representation of the national identity and struggles of Poland during a tumultuous period in its history.
