Artur Grottger - Polish painter, one of the leading representatives of Romanticism in Polish painting, illustrator and draughtsman. His work was described as romantic and at the same time academic, and his style as innovative and at the same time conservative. He can be credited as an epigone and a precursor in Polish painting. Due to the subject matter of many of his works inspired by events in Polish history, he is regarded as one of the significant representatives of the current of the Polish national school of history painting. During his stay in Vienna, he also made many illustrations relating to German and Austrian history, which were in the style of the historical German school and the "Gemütlichkeit" style characteristic of the Viennese style of the 1850s. The black-and-white series of drawings called cycles became the most characteristic and most famous part of Grottger's work. He was a prolific artist and, despite his untimely death, left behind a large artistic output.
