Life and professional career

Born somewhere around 1615 in Gdańsk (Danzig),[3] in Pomeranian Voivodeship,[4] 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.[1] After his uncle's death he travelled to France and the Netherlands to continue his studies for about three years.[1]

Schultz became the leading artist at the

Agha Dedesh (or Dedis) with his sons and servants.[5][6] The eldest son of Agha was entitled Royal Falconer in reward for his father's support during the Polish war with Russia (1654–1667). This work was painted during Agha's visit to Warsaw after successful invasion of the Left-bank Ukraine (1663–1664).[6] Rich color variations of cerise, dark green and orange create an ideal composition with silver-brown tone of the painting. Some of the portraits of John II are also well known - en pied propaganda portrait in Polish costume, when he was leading the Berestechko expedition and so-called Bielany portrait in armour with black glow of burning Kraków in background.[7]

His greatest activity occurred during the reign of John II.

Dutch paintings and by his agent in Amsterdam, Gerrit van Uylenburgh, he purchased many of his works (The bath of Diana, Actaeon among others).[8][9]

Schultz lived in Gdańsk at the same time as the engraver Jeremias Falck (c. 1620–1664), who often engraved portraits after Schultz's paintings.
