Jan Rosen - already in his childhood - took drawing lessons - in Dresden with Henryk Redlich and in Warsaw with Franciszek Kostrzewski. Later he studied in Munich - at the Academy of Fine Arts (in early November 1872 he enrolled in the Antikenklasse)[1] and in the private studio of Jozef Brandt - as well as in Paris at the State Academy of Fine Arts with Isidor Pils and Jean-Léon Gérôme. He was out of the country for a long time; he traveled throughout Europe, living in Munich, Paris and Lausanne. In 1891 he became a court painter of the St. Petersburg court. He returned to Poland in 1921.
He painted mainly military paintings, battle scenes from the Napoleonic era and the November Uprising, and genre paintings with his favorite motif of horsemen and horses.
He is buried in the family tomb in the Evangelical Augsburg cemetery in Warsaw (alley 18, grave 11)[2].
