Wilhelm Aleksandrovich Kotarbinski came from a Polish noble family and devoted most of his works to classical, historical, mythological and religious themes. He was born in 1849 in the Polish village of Nieborow in the province of Warsaw. He received his early artistic training in Warsaw and, at his parents’ request, enrolled briefly at university before deciding to devote himself definitively to his artistic career. He then moved to Italy where, with the help of a scholarship, he was able to continue his studies at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. In 1875 he graduated with a gold medal and then established his own studio in Rome. Despite his success, he left Italy in 1888 to work on the monumental project for St Vladimir’s Cathedral in Kiev. He received numerous commissions from members of the local aristocracy.
