Biography
He studied from 1883 to 1890 at the School of Fine Arts in Kraków, under Jan Matejko, among others, and from 1891 to 1893 in Munich at Anton Ažbe’s private school. While still a student, he made his debut at the Society of Friends of Fine Arts in Kraków, exhibiting under the name 'Jordan'. After graduation, he lived in Lviv. He taught at the Industrial School and collaborated on the decoration of the Lviv theater’s auditoriums. During World War I, he fought in the Legions. After World War II, he settled in Zakopane. He primarily painted battle scenes from the Napoleonic era and the November Uprising, genre scenes featuring horses, and, less frequently, portraits and landscapes. He participated in the creation of popular panoramas—the Battle of Racławice, alongside Jan Styka and Wojciech Kossak; Golgotha; the Transylvanian Panorama; The Martyrdom of Christians with Styka; and The Battle of the Pyramids with Kossak. Together with Tadeusz Popiel, he painted the dioramas *Tatar Captives* and *The Battle of Grunwald*.
