[...] Jean Pierre Norblin, French painter, draughtsman and graphic artist; active in Poland for many years, he combined the Rococo tradition of charming fetes galantes with a panorama of Polish daily life and current political events captured with journalistic accuracy. We owe to his hurriedly sketched drawings the image of such important historical moments as the passing of the Constitution of the 3 May, the hanging of traitors in the Old Market Square (Warsaw), or the massacre in the Praga district of the capital during the Kosciuszko Insurrection.
