Product description
Author: Przemysław Mrozowski
Professor Przemysław Mrozowski’s book is a very important and absolutely outstanding work in Polish literature on the subject. The assumption is extremely ambitious: to provide a synthesis of sixteenth-century, Old Polish portrait painting in its European contexts; and it has been implemented successfully. This work is a great read and a pleasure because it is written in a flexible language and excellent style. It is illustrative and overview, giving a synthetic image of the title phenomenon, and at the same time presenting a detailed analysis of individual objects. It is a critical review of previous diagnoses and interpretations, proposing their verifications and own solutions to problems. In many points it refutes or revises traditional images, stereotypes and myths. Polish (and therefore European) literature on the subject has long lacked such a compendium of knowledge about the early modern Polish (or ‘foreign’ in Poland) portrait. This is a fundamental and monumental work.~ Prof. Antoni Ziemba, PhD, University of Warsaw, Institute of Art History
