Jan Suchorzewski

Portrait of Suchorzewski

Jan Suchorzewski (1740 or 1754 – 1804 or 1809)[a] was a Polish noble of the Zaremba coat of arms, soldier and politician. He held the title of the wojski of Wschowa.[1] He was a deputy from Gniezno to the Sejm (parliament) of 1786 and deputy from Kalisz to the Great Sejm of 1788-1792.[1] He would be best remembered for his dramatic, theatrical gestures from that period. Kazimierz Bartoszewicz compared Suchorzewski's look and attitude to that of Zagłoba from Henryk Sienkiewicz's famous trilogy, if more misguided.[2] He became an opponent of the reforms, and joined the Confederation of Targowica.[1]
