Maslowski & his brushes & pencils

 Salvete Omnes,

 

today just some beautiful art from a Polish  artist named  Stanislaw Maslowski (1853 -1926).

He was a scion of a lesser Polish noble family with a rather unusual coat of arms - Samson.
His maternal grandfather, Wincenty Danielewicz(1787-1878) Ostoja coat of arms,  was a chevau-leger lancer of the 1st Polish Light Cavalry Lancers Regiment of the Imperial Guard, for his bravery and heroic actions pan Danielewicz was awarded a Legion of Honor.  

 

 

Pan Stanislaw Maslowski being a working artists also was moved by his passions for art history, especially by the  Italian and French art histories and writings, and this passion resulted in his translation of Giorgio Vasari's famous work The Lives (see the link - :) ) from Italian to Polish.

 

 and this beautiful piece

Pan Stanislaw was also a book illustrator - eg a historical fiction by Walery Przyborowski, Adyutant Naczelnego Wodza( Adjutant of the Supreme Commander) .

enjoy
