Petr Jan Brandl (1668 - 1735)

• Was a Czech painter of the late Baroque in the Kingdom of Bohemia.
• Brandl was the sixth child in a Czech-German family.
• His father, Michal Brandl, worked as a tailor and was of German ancestry.
• His mother, Alžběta Hrbková, was Czech from a peasant family in the south Bohemian town of Přestanice. 
• Brandl was famous in his time but – due to isolation behind the Iron Curtain – rather forgotten until recently.
• Brandl employed strong chiaroscuro, areas of heavy impasto and very plastic as well as dramatic figures.
• The artist is a distant ancestor of both contemporary Austrian painter Herbert Brandl and contemporary American-Swiss painter Mark Staff Brandl.
• The displayed painting is a crop from: Petr Jan Brandl, Self Portrait, so-called Lobkowicz, c. 1697.
