Biography
Jerzy Kossak was educated from an early age in the studio of his grandfather, Juliusz, and father, Wojciech. In the early 1920s. Jerzy travelled with his father to the manor houses of Great 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 undertook themes close to the yearnings and sentiments of the Polish viewer, he perpetuated the myth of the Polish legions and the victorious war with the Bolsheviks, he also painted genre scenes with motifs of cavalry toil, horses, meetings between soldiers and girls.
