JAN KUPECKY

(1667 Pezinok-1740 Nuremberg). Painter and a leading representative of the Baroque burgher portrait.
Born to a Czech family, Jan Kupecky spent the first fifteen years of his life in Slovakia, where he learned his craft at Holic. After a period in Vienna he left for Italy, whence he returned to the Austrian capital to become one of the most sought-after portrait painters of his time. Showered with commissions from the nobility, he traveled throughout central Europe, painted the portrait of Peter the Great and refused an appointment as second court artist. Influenced by the schools of Bologna, Rome and Venice, he favored the French presentational type of portrait. His oeuvre includes eighteen self-portraits.

Kupecky's works are to be found in Europe's leading galleries, while Bratislava City Gallery boasts the most complete collection of prints executed after his paintings (a procedure the artist himself facilitated).

We have several FDC sets available at US $12.50
