Wojciech Kossak
Wojciech Kossak (Paris, France, December 31, 1857 – July 29, 1942, Kraków, Poland) was a Polish painter and member of the celebrated Kossak family of painters and writers.
Wojciech Kossak's work was very different in subject matter and style from Jan Matejko's; Kossak belonged to a later generation of artists. Like Matejko, however, he is known for paintings depicting the history of Polish arms and notable battles of Central and Eastern Europe. Among his most famous paintings is The Racławice Panorama.
