About the Item
Piotr Topolski, born in Kielce, Poland, in 1960, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. He specializes in creating compelling oil portraits, often drawing inspiration from the style of the Old Masters.
Topolski’s approach is characterized by meticulous observation and a sensitive treatment of light and colour. His subjects—frequently public figures or thoughtful character studies—are imbued with a striking psychological presence. Working principally in oil on canvas, his work combines classical technique with contemporary clarity. His portraits have earned him exhibitions across galleries in Europe and private commissions internationally
This portrait by Piotr Topolski presents a dignified elderly man with a full beard, depicted against a neutral, shadowed backdrop that emphasizes the sitter’s features and inner depth. The composition recalls the sober realism of traditional European portraiture, yet with a fresh immediacy. Topolski captures the sitter’s textured skin, the thoughtful gaze, and the weight of age with precise, layered brushwork and a refined tonal palette.
Light is used sparingly but intentionally—gently highlighting the forehead, nose, and beard while allowing softer transitions into shadow. The subject’s expression is pensive and quietly resolved, a testament to the artist’s ability to convey personality and gravitas without extravagance.
The painting blends classical formality with contemporary sensibility, resulting in a work that feels timeless and psychologically astute—a signature of Topolski’s portraits.

It is a gentle and graceful Danae the one portrayed by Giovanni Giacomo Sementi. A painting in which the Milanese painter Pier Francesco Cittadini also collaborated by painting the golden basin filled with flowers to the left of the scene. The work shows various pictorial influences; from the Bolognese Emilian style, to that of Ludovico Carracci (1555 - 1619) and Guido Reni (1575 - 1642), to the Baroque and Roman style. The work features an elegant red drapery which serves as the background to the entire scene, but the real protagonist is the young woman with long red hair who is lying on a bed covered by a white sheet. The girl is naked except for a lapis lazuli blue mantle...
