Product description

Author: Jan K. Ostrowski 

In an extensive monograph, Professor Jan K. Ostrowski introduces the reader to the world of portraiture in Old Poland. We learn about the reasons for artistic depiction of figures – from the desire to commemorate them to the complex functions of representation and propaganda. The portraits show primarily representatives of the nobility, reflecting their aspirations and social position. The author teaches us to be attentive when looking at old works, shows how to read and interpret portraits in relation to the times in which they were created.
