Józef Brodowski the Elder

Józef Brodowski, (c.1775/81, Warsaw – 1853, Kraków) was a Polish painter in the Classical style.

He is called The Elder to distinguish him from Józef Brodowski (1828–1900), who was apparently not related.

Thanks to the financial support of Princess Izabela Czartoryska, he was able to study in Vienna with Josef Abel and Johann Baptist von Lampi.

He painted historical scenes, genre works, church decorations and portraits.
