|
Brief Biography-Artur Grottger was born in Otyniowice, Podolia, Ukraine in 1837. He studied alongside Juliusz Kossak under Jan Kanty Maszkowski in Lviv between 1848 and 1854, at the Kraków School of Fine Arts under Jan Matejko from 1855 to 1858, and for a short time, at the Vienna Academy in 1864. In Vienna, he worked as an illustrator for magazines. Kossak and Aleksander Orłowski had a profound influence on him. His paintings varied from genre to historical scenes. Many of his works had strong nationalistic undertones that motivated writers of the day. He died of tuberculosis in Amelie’s-les-Bains, France, in 1867. |
