Tadeusz Kuntze (also Taddeo Kuntze or Taddeo Polacco) was the pseudonym of the Polish-Silesian painter Tadeusz Konicz[1] (3 October 1733 – 8 May 1793), who was active in Kraków, in Paris, in Spain and in Rome.

[2] Konicz was born in Grünberg, Silesia (now Zielona Góra, Poland) on 3 October 1733.

He was raised in Kraków at the court of the bishop, Andrzej Stanisław Załuski, who in 1747 sent him to Rome to study.

From 1748 to 1752 he studied at the Académie de France, and later under Ludovico Mazzanti and at the newly established scuola libera del nudo.

[2] He also worked on frescoes in the church of Santo Stanislao dei Polacchi.
