Joseph Sonntag is a Biedermeier artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at National Museum in Warsaw.

Joseph Sonntag painted formal portraits in the early 1800s. His brush captured Józia Walicka holding a dove around 1812, Franciszek Ksawery Christiani’s dignified face in 1822, and a woman lost in a red scarf two years later. He also painted military scenes like Kozietulski charging through the Somossiera Gorge in 1818.

Each picture shows quiet pride and detail from a time when artists recorded people and events in paint. Tap “Portrait of Józia Walicka with a dove” to step into his world.
