Jozef Brandt

Józef Brandt was a Polish battlefield painter.

After changing his mind about becoming an engineer, in 1862 the aspiring artist moved to Munich, where he studied under Franz Adam and Karl Piloti, and eventually opened his own studio. Brandt was recognized in Munich as one of the outstanding artists of the Polish school; he quickly achieved both financial and artistic success here, and his studio attracted many pupils. By 1875 he was running an informal school for young artists, most of whom were Polish, and in the same year he was elected a member of the Berlin Academy. In 1878 he was elected a member of the Munich Academy, and in 1900. - Prague Academy.

The main theme of Brandt's work is scenes of the 17th-century wars in Poland, the Tatar and Swedish invasions. He accurately depicted the ammunition, arms and equipment of their participants and was especially fond of drawing horses.

Józef Brandt's paintings are in almost all Polish museums, and he is represented in museums and private collections in North America and Europe.
