About this person
He lived and worked in today's southern Lithuania, south-eastern Belarus, and north-eastern Poland, and travelled around in search of new subjects for his oil paintings and lithographs. A leading landscape painter of his period, Kulesza created images that are now among the sparse visual records of the region in the first half of the 19th century.
