Nearly ten metres wide, Jan Matejko's canvas shows the victory of Poland and Lithuania over the Teutonic Order in 1410. Grand Duke Vytautas, in red, raises his sword at the centre while the Grand Master, Ulrich von Jungingen, in white, is cut down beside him. The Nazis hunted for the painting during the occupation; it survived hidden near Lublin.
