“The Polish Portrait” – now online

Make yourself a cup of hot tea or coffee and prepare for over an hour-long, fascinating story about Bolesław Barbacki, a great Polish portrait painter, told by… himself! The film, production of Nomina Rosae Foundation from Nowy Sącz (with our small participation ;)), is now available online for free! Do not forget to turn on english subtitles (you can do it in Settings). Have a good time with Bolesław Barbacki, getting to know about his great talent and accomplishments, against the background of Poland in the first half of XIX century.
