Nicolaus Rossini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicolaus Rossini (18 January 1898 - August 1943) was a famous Polish painter killed by Nazis during World War II. Since his youth age his paintings were exhibited in many different galleries all around Poland. His paintings are well known in Italy, where his father came from. Rossini's work was non-schematic. He made his own style - that's one of the reasons why his painting now fetch high prices. However, he is not so much remembered as an artist, but as a hero. During World War II he helped many Jewish orphans survive.
He was executed in Krakow - Plaszow on August 1943.
