Kazimierz Wojniakowski

Adoption of the Constitution of May 3, 1791 (1806)

Kazimierz Wojniakowski (1771–1812) was a Polish painter.

Life and work

Wojniakowski was a pupil of Marcello Bacciarelli.[1]

His work as a portraitist was influenced by that of the Polish painter Josef Grassi, as in Wojniakowski's 1796 Portrait of Izabela Czartoryska, née Fleming.[2]

Other noteworthy portraits by Wojniakowski include his portrait of Tadeusz Kościuszko.

Wojniakowski also produced religious works and scenes of contemporary historic events (e.g., The Constitution of May 3, 1791, 1806).[2]

Notable as well are Wojniakowski's drawings from journeys, e.g. in Lublin Province.[2]
