Kossak (1824-1899)-an admirer and eulogist of the noble customs and knightly splendor of the First Republic-remains one of the most popular and respected artists in Poland. Considered the founder of Polish battle painting and a master of watercolor, he went down in history as an unparalleled painter of horses. The monograph owes its high level of content to Stanislaw Witkiewicz (1851-1915), a painter and prominent art critic.
