This winter I may have done a little reconstruction of a painting by Swedish artist Carl Larsson, famously depicting the story of a human sacrifice (not pictured above).
These pictures are taken at the supposed historic site as well.

Portraits in Lace Breton Women
Charles Fr茅ger
Thames & Hudson, London 2015, 264 pages, 22.5 x 19.0 cm, ISBN 9780500517994
euro 65,00
Charles Fr茅ger has photographed a series of portraits of Breton women wearing costumes and headdresses of endless variety: from high starched towers to elaborately pinned, tucked and embroidered confections of handmade lace, as delicate as they are distinctive.
Costumes and headdresses may indicate a wearer鈥檚 village, as well as age or status. They are worn for celebrations of a marriage, birth, or a local saint鈥檚 day, or to mark a period of mourning. Young girls, women both married and unmarried, mothers, sisters and grandmothers pose in costume for these wonderful photographic portraits.
Over 50 headdresses are introduced and described in a separate reference section, accompanied by specially commissioned illustrations. Fr茅ger鈥檚 exceptional photographs demonstrate a wealth of pride and personal expression that make this book a unique testament to a living tradition.

I was recently on a trip to Wroc艂aw and I saw panorama of Rac艂awice (recommend馃憣) but in the picture I saw an unusual thing:
a highlander in the middle of cracovian peasants. so, I asked my history teacher if that situation would happened. she said no, only the local peasants took part in the Ko艣ciuszko Uprising.
so it was just the artists vision. but what could the vision of Wojech Kossak and Jan Styka, a highlander among Cracovians, represent?
in my opinion i think that authors of this picture wanted to show connectivity beetween different poles.
At that time, such an image was very useful for the quarreling nation after the partitions.
