Lot 22
Sold
signed and dated ‘W. Trojanowski 1883 (?)’ (lower left) oil on canvas 46.1 x 33.9 cm peint en 1880s Wincenty Trojanowski was a Polish painter, sculptor, and medallist. He began his artistic training under W. Gerson and A. Kamiński at the Warsaw School of Drawing (1878–1880), later continuing his studies at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St Petersburg (1880–1885) and, from 1886, at the Munich Academy under A. Wagner. In 1893, Trojanowski moved to France, where he turned increasingly to sculpture and medallic art, which came to occupy much of his later career. As a painter, he is best known for his religious compositions and genre scenes depicting pages, lutenists, monks, Turkish women, and Arab figures, as well as still lifes and landscapes. He exhibited widely in Poland and abroad. Among his notable works is an urn created in 1896 to contain the heart of Tadeusz Kościuszko, commissioned for the Polish Museum in Rapperswil.
