Biography
Jerzy Kossak was educated from an early age in the studio of his grandfather, Juliusz, and his father, Wojciech. In the early 1920s. Jerzy traveled with his father to the manors of Greater Poland, where he portrayed the local landed gentry. Jerzy Kossak's paintings (like those of his grandfather and father) are still very popular today. The artist took up themes close to the longings and sentiments of the Polish viewer, he perpetuated the myth of the Polish legions and the victorious war against the Bolsheviks, he also painted genre scenes with motifs of lancer toil, horses, meetings of soldiers and girls.
