Eugène Delacroix is the epitome of romantic painting. He created paintings commenting on the key contemporary political and religious events and showing historical scenes, of which the most famous one is “Liberty Leading the People” with the personification of Marianne, one of the French national symbols.

This mini-album in the popular “Painting” series presents the artistic oeuvre of Roman Kochanowski (1857–1945) – a painter and draughtsman, one of the most acclaimed Polish landscape authors. Kochanowski studied at the Academies of Fine Arts in Kraków and Vienna, and was trained by Władysław Łuszczkiewicz and Henryk Grabiański.

“Timothy Mouse and Fred Hedgehog. The Mystery of Leonardo da Vinci’s Masterpieces” by Dagmara Budzbon-Szymańska is the fourth volume in the detective story series about two friends fighting art thieves and forgers.

“Tamara de Lempicka. Behind the Scenes” is another book on Tamara de Lempicka released by the BoSz Publishing House. This one does not focus on the artist’s life, but instead puts her paintings in the spotlight and looks at them from a completely different perspective than ever before.

The new mini-album in the series on the most outstanding Polish poster artists is devoted to Franciszek Starowieyski, a graphic designer, painter, draughtsman, scenographer, and performer. Starowieyski designed over three hundred excellent posters, most of which were meant for films, theatre plays, and festivals. 

Another figure in the “Medallist” series, created in collaboration with the Polish Olympic Committee, is Waldemar Baszanowski (1935–2011) – an accomplished Polish weightlifter.

A life full of passion, poverty, substance and alcohol abuse, society scandals, pre-mature death of the artist, and the tragedy of his partner were juicy bits for literature and cinema. The life of Amadeo Modigliani has been the subject matter of several more-or-less faithful biographies, novels, and films.
