Product description

Author: Jakub Pokora 

In his latest publication, Professor Jakub Pokora presents readers with a different perspective on the art of portraiture in a colourful and subversive way. From masterpieces of world painting to tombstone sculptures, Professor Pokora reads the ideological content contained in gestures, accessories and signatures. From this fascinating reading, the reader will learn about the importance of the position of the hand of the person being portrayed, who showed the Kozakiewicz gesture in the 16th century, how children were once portrayed and much more. The author, Professor Jakub Pokora, PhD, art historian, lectures at the Institute of Art History at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University (since 2000) and at the Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts (since 1982).
