Adriaen Brouwer i recepcja naukowa jego dzieł w powojennej i współczesnej Polsce

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of the Polish scholarly reception of the paintings of Adriaen Brouwer, a representative of the so-called “lowlife” painting practised in the seventeenth-century Netherlands and in the South Netherlands. It analyses the issues of the conditions and particularities of the interpretations created in Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th century. The text is thus an attempt at a scientific revival of the Polish interpretative tradition of this art, which has been largely forgotten and is rarely referred to in the contemporary scholar reflection on it.
