Joseph Sonntag is a Biedermeier artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at National Museum in Warsaw.

Joseph Sonntag painted formal portraits in the early 1800s.

He also painted military scenes like Kozietulski charging through the Somossiera Gorge in 1818. Each picture shows quiet pride and detail from a time when artists recorded people and events in paint.
