Czartoryski Museum
Kraków, Poland · 5 works · 5 painters
The Czartoryski Museum stands in Kraków, Poland. Founded in 1796 by Princess Izabela Czartoryska to preserve Polish heritage, it began with trophies from the 1683 Battle of Vienna. For much of its history it remained a private collection, and today its holdings span painting, Greek and Etruscan ceramics, weapons and a major library. Its most celebrated work is Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci, acquired in Venice in 1798. Other paintings in the museum's selection include Portrait of a Young Man by Raphael, Landscape with the Good Samaritan by Rembrandt, Phryne by Artur Grottger and Portrait of a Man by Jan Mostaert.
