Augustus III's entry to Warsaw in 1734 by the triumphal arch Johann Samuel Mock (born 1687, died June 4, 1737 in Warsaw) - painter from Saxony, from about 1723 in Poland, court painter of King Augustus III, bourgeois of Old Warsaw.

He initially worked at the royal court in Dresden, where he designed tapestry patterns for the royal manufactory, and also made gourds documenting court life. Around 1723 he moved to Warsaw, where in 1731 he received the position of court painter. He became a resident of Old Warsaw and converted to Catholicism.

The royal court painted oil paintings depicting portraits (August II, Urszula Lubomirska and others), views (eg Marymont), genre scenes (Bones, Negroes and others), theatrical scenery and events (Fryderyk's Wedding in August 1719, Arrival of Augustus III to Warsaw and others). He made sketches of senatorial chambers of the Royal Castle in Warsaw and Grodno; he also designed triumphal arches for various ceremonies and illuminations. He took part in the painting competition for the main altar in St. Cross in Warsaw, but it is not known whether the painting destroyed there in 1939 was his authorship.

He died in Warsaw, leaving 3 daughters from a marriage with Barbara from the house of Sacres. Mocka pupils were among others. Jan Benedykt Hoffman and Łukasz Smuglewicz. Bibliography Authoritative control (person):
