We're going back to the Epopea of Slavic Fly. Number 10 is “After the conflict of Grunwald”.
This conflict is considered the biggest triumph of the Polish army in Poland, but let's not forget that Czechs and Lithuanians and even Tatars fought on our side. respective 1000 people died on both sides of the battle. Of the 250 crucial spiritual knights 203 were killed, while the Polish crucial knights were much better killed, which means that the spiritual knights, mainly engaged in administration, fought alternatively poorly, while the Polish knights with Zawia Black and Powa from Taczew were much better, although it is not excluded that Polish crucial knights sent their gags to fight alternatively than to hazard their lives themselves.
There's no large triumph in the painting of the Fly. possibly it would be worth to face this painting with Jan Matejka's conflict of Grunwald. I wouldn't hang 1 or the other, but as historical objects they're important. Matejko painted his painting 50 years earlier. Did Mucha know Matejka's painting? Most likely, yes, but I did not find any comments about it.
