Product description

Authors: Anna Guzowska, Anna Kwiatkowska, Dominika Walawender-Musz   

The publication discusses the history of the most important portrait in the Wilanów collection. The circumstances surrounding the painting and purchase of this work are not yet fully explained. The course of cooperation between Potocki and David and the phenomenon of the development of a specific legend of the work, which interwove artistic threads with the story of the moment of equestrian triumph over a previously untamed stallion from the stable of the King of Naples, are still intriguing. The painting was made in 1780–1781 and is one of the most outstanding paintings of Poles. It is also considered one of the most appreciated works of Jacques Louis David (1748–1825).
