Alfred Wierusz-Kowalski (1849 - 1915) One of the most eminent Polish Painters of the so-called Munich school. He was also alongside with Joseph Brandt and Władysław Czachórski one of the most popular Polish artists active in Munich. He settled there in 1873 just after his studies in Warsaw and Dresden. He studied for a year at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts under the direction of Alexander Wagner and later he moved to the private studio of Brandt. He was noticed early in his career by the critique and the public. His paintings which received medals at numerous exhibitions where sought-after by collectors and German art dealers. In 1890 he was nominated a honorary professor of the Munich Academy. He painted generic and historical scenes. Such themes like horsemen, knights, hunters, horses, wolfs and snow where dominant in his works. After his journey to Africa in 1903 he also undertook oriental themes. His paintings sparsely can be found in collections of Polish museums. His paintings where sold mostly on the German market and turned up in private collections in Germany and the United States. The present upsurge on the Polish art market and rise in interest in art collecting causes that his paintings are slowly drawn back to Poland.
