Abstract

The writer and artist Arthur Bartels (1818–1885) left enough reflections in his works to recreate a picture of his ethnic views on his homeland. He recognized Poland as his native state, but from the context it follows that the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was meant. Despite this, A. Bartels considered Lithua nia (in the historical sense of this concept) his homeland. He had not yet come to a national understanding of the European peoples and, above all, of his mother land. However, it is noteworthy that he was approaching it: the combination of Lithuania, White Russia and Paliessie in unity is evidence of this. This can be traced in his literary works. But at the same time there is no homogeneity in A. Bartels’ perception of ethno-national processes. Great Litvinism is manifested by him in works written more for himself (primarily poems), and in his homeland. Explicit Polishness is expressed in poems (which were made public), especially in the final, already Krakow, period of life.
