Description The book is another from the series of monographic studies in the Olomouc Museum of Art, which acquaints visitors with major representatives of old art in Moravia. It deals with the life and work of one of the foremost baroque painters in Moravia, Josef Ignaz Sadler (1725-1767). He takes - due to his original painterly style - an important place among his contemporaries. In his early years Sadler studised at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome, where he was 1750 awarded the second prize in the first painters class. After his return to Moravia, Sadler worked on commissions for convents in Šternberk, Fulnek etc., but he made some paintings for the art-educated privy collectors in Olomouc too. In spite of the brevity of time afforded to him, his art has its indisputed place in history of the European rococo-classicist academism.
