Artist of the Day, January 17, 2022: Józef Brandt, a Polish painter (#1472)

Józef Brandt (1841 – 1915) was a Polish painter, a representative of the Munich School, best known for his paintings of military art. Throughout the second half of the 19th century, he was the leader of a Polish artistic colony in Munich.

Brandt studied in Warsaw in the school of J.N. Leszczynski and at the Noblemen's Institute. In 1858 he left for Paris to study at the Ecole centrale Paris but was persuaded by Juliusz Kossak to abandon engineering in favor of painting. He studied as a painter in Munich under Franz Adam and Karl Piloty and then opened his own studio.

His paintings mostly study 17th-century military life, though he has also made some studies of Polish peasant life.

In 1893, Brandt was awarded the Order of Isabella the Catholic, and in 1898, he became the recipient of the Bavarian Maximilian Order for Science and Art.
