Book Reviews of The Land of the Winged Horsemen: Art in Poland 1572-1764
Book Review: Polish Culture
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book to be an excellent overview of the beautiful Polish culture. The decorative attire and fabulous feathers used in battle are taken from a variety of influencing aggressors. The book explains each item with clarity and references it to its origins. The Eastern or Turkish invasions have left their mark on this culture but often with beautiful results as exemplified in the Polish art. The painting on the seige of Vienna is now in the Vienna City Museum. An excellent addition to a Polish library which clearly defines the roots of the Polish people and the magnificence of their work.
