The Horses of Józef Brandt Pt 4

John III Sobieski Departing from Wilanow
Józef Brandt was a Polish painter during the later 19th and early 20th century and his claim to fame was the battle scenes he so intricately painted. Today’s is the last in a series of five posts dedicated to this prolific artist.

An Amazing Artist

Unfortunately I can’t find a whole lot about the artist himself. He was friends with another military artist Juliusz Kossak who had a monumental influence on Brandt’s decision to pursue art full time. I’m quite glad he did, his body of work tells stories of life & battle in a land far away. Be sure to check out Pt. 1, Pt. 2 & Pt. 3 too.
