Life and work

He was born into a gentrified family with an artistic tradition. His father was the well-known Classical painter, Antoni Brodowski, and he was the older brother of Józef Brodowski, a prominent painter of battle scenes.

His first painting lessons came from his father. After that, he studied in the workshops of Aleksander Kokular and Antoni Blank. In 1841, he went to Rome. Two years later, after mounting an exhibition in Warsaw, he moved to Paris, where he perfected his techniques with the battle painter, Horace Vernet. His works also show the influence of Aleksander Orłowski.

He died, aged only twenty-six, of unspecified causes; although his death came shortly after the beginning of the French Revolution of 1848.

Most of his known paintings involve horses; primarily in battle scenes and historical events. He also did caricatures and a few Orientalist works.

gollark: Also, protestors tend to be in groups and blaming all of them for some subset doing things is problematic.

And any person who can take away another human beings sight and sleep at night is far from humanThis is, well, "emotional", in that you can't really go around rigorously demonstrating/defining this sort of thing.
gollark: *he says, after making an emotional appeal about 20 messages before*
gollark: You can see the wavelengths it doesn't block, presumably.
