Daniel Schultz

(Georg) Daniel Schultz He painted many Polish and Lithuanian nobles, members of the royal family, local patricians, such as the astronomer Johannes Hevelius; animals, and hunts. His work can be found at the Wawel Castle State Art Collections, the Warsaw National Museum, the Stockholm National Museum, the Hermitage Museum, and at the Gdańsk National Museum.

Life and professional career Born somewhere around 1615 in Danzig (now Gdańsk), in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Schultz learned the art of painting from his uncle, Daniel Schultz the Elder, another important painter, working in his workshop for about five years. The eldest son of Agha was entitled Royal Falconer in reward for his father's support during the Russo-Polish War (1654–1667). This work was painted during Agha's visit to Warsaw after successful invasion of the Left-bank Ukraine (1663–1664).

His greatest activity occurred during the reign of John II.

Schultz lived in Gdańsk at the same time as the engraver Jeremias Falck (–1664), who often engraved portraits after Schultz's paintings.
