Falling into the late romantic period the events and figures of the Uprising inspired many Polish painters, including Artur Grottger, Juliusz Kossak và Michał Elwiro Andriolli and marked the delineation with the positivism that followed.
Polish poet Cyprian Norwid wrote a famous poem, "Chopin's Piano," describing the defenestration of the composer's piano during the January 1863 Uprising, when Russian soldiers maliciously threw the instrument out of a second-floor Warsaw apartment. Chopin had left Warsaw and Poland forever shortly before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising.

London: Veritas, 1963. ("Voices from 1863: An Anthology of unknown and little known contemporary Perspectives").
In the initial draft of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne (but not in the published version), Captain Nemo was a Polish nobleman whose family had been brutally murdered by the Russians during the January 1863 Uprising. Since France had only recently signed an alliance with the Đế quốc Nga, in the novel's final version Verne's editor, Pierre-Jules Hetzel, made him obscure Nemo's motives.[cần dẫn nguồn]
