The Silesian Weavers

Karl Hübner 1846

German Historical Museum
Berlin, Germany

The home weavers sank into poverty due to competition from industrial production. Unlike earlier uprisings, the brutally crushed Silesian uprising of 1844 became a topic of public interest. Hübner's painting, which was often displayed, helped to make it widely known.
