Photo Album: “Fryderyk Chopin’s Family in 1829” by Ambroży Mieroszewski (1802 - 1884)
■ Ambroży Mieroszewski (1802–1884) was a Polish painter who was Fryderyk Chopin’s first known portraitist. In that same year, Mieroszewski also painted a portrait of the Fryderyk ’s first professional piano teacher,Wojciech Żywny.
■ The set of five 1829 portraits of the surviving members of the Chopin family (the youngest child, Emilia Chopin, had died of tuberculosis at age 14 in 1827) were painted about a year before Fryderyk Chopin would leave Warsaw and his native land forever in November 1830.
■ All six portraits were the property of Laura Ciechomska of Warsaw when they were lost in the opening days of World War II, in September 1939. Only black-and-white photographs of them survive.
