This lot features an original oil on canvas painting titled, "Rochack on Horseback" by Wojciech Kossak (Polish 1856 – 1942). Kossak was a noted Polish painter and member of the celebrated Kossak family of artists and writers. He was the son of painter Juliusz Kossak, and twin brother of freedom fighter Tadeusz Kossak, and the father of two highly talented literary daughters, Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska and Magdalena Samozwaniec and of a painter son, Jerzy Kossak. Wojciech Kossak's historical painting was different in style from that of his predecessor Jan Matejko. He belonged to a new generation of Polish battle-scene artists influenced by the work of his father Juliusz. However, like Matejko, he is known for depicting the history of Polish armed struggle and notable Polish battles of Central and Eastern Europe against foreign oppressors. Among his most famous paintings is The Raclawice Panorama. Excellent condition. Measures 28" x 20.5". This piece comes from the Dickenson Estate of Knoxville, TN. We have also included a letter from Prof. Bill Wright attesting to his belief in the authenticity of this piece. Please See Photos for Details. Shipping Available.
