Tomasz Rut (born in 1961) is a Polish painter. He received a Masters Degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in Conservation of Art in 1986. Tomasz Rut's use of oil on canvas conveys a form of a body or bodies, with particular focus on complex anatomies of the human form. His works were added to the Vatican Collection. On Wednesday, October 12, 2011, during Tomasz Rut's audience with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, attended by thousands of spectators from around the world at the St. Peter's square in the Vatican, two large paintings by Tomasz Rut became part of the Vatican collection at St. Peter's Basilica after being blessed by the Holy Father. Evoking the passion of Michelangelo, the subtlety of Caravaggio and the flamboyance of Rubens, Tomasz Rut, also named one of the most collectible contemporary artists by Robb Report’s Best of the Best, resurrects the dormant classical tradition of painting in a XXI century tribute to the perseverance of the human ability and spirit, which transcends the ebbs and flows of modern fashions.
