Regarding The Salon of Polish Painters. The marker makes more sense when one understands that Kraków was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the majority of the Salon's existence, i.e. from 1885-1918. Hence the importance of the Salon's focus on Polish painters and Polish independence.

Painted by Matejko in 1864, after the failed January Uprising in the preceding year, the painting was hidden behind Matejko's stove at home for a dozen years before being sold privately. The allegorical painting depicts the fate of "Polonia", i.e. Poland, at the hands of the Russians and Prussians, and was published as a postcard by Salon Malarzy Polskich in 1904.
