Aleksander Kotsis

Ukrainian, 1836–1877

Aleksander Kotsis (1836–1877) war ein polnischer Maler, der für Landschaften, Porträts und Genrebilder in einer Mischung aus Romantischen und Realistischen Stilen bekannt war, oft im kleinen Maßstab. Geboren und gestorben in Krakau, studierte er intermittierend an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste, während er im Geschäft seiner Familie arbeitete. Später setzte er seine Ausbildung in Wien fort, reiste dann und stellte weitläufig in Polen und Nordeuropa aus und verbrachte Zeit in Städten wie Warschau, Paris, Brüssel und München. Nach der Diagnose einer Gehirnerkrankung im Jahr 1875 konnte er seine Arbeit nicht fortsetzen und starb zwei Jahre später.
