The Horses of Józef Brandt Pt 2

Cossack and a Girl at the Well
Welcome to part 2 of the Józef Brandt series (with even more to come). Brandt was a Polish battle painter during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Not Much Else to Say

Brandt’s work is inspired and there seems to be a bold story behind every piece. While he was a celebrated battle artist, he had, in contrast, a much softer side as well. From violent battlefields to quiet scenes of contented country life, his imagery possesses a motion and life of it’s very own.

Really a Huge Body of Work

Brandt was one busy painter, he must have done little else. Similar only in scale to the likes of western artist Frederic Remington. Be sure to check out part one and stay tuned for the next installment.
