Poland
This painter was one of the most famous painters of Polish Symbolism.
In his creativity he successfully joined the predominant style of his times with motifs of Polish martyrdom.
His father was General Secretary of the Land Credit Society and his mother was daughter of Alexander – an officer in Napoleon’s army.
When he was seventeen he moved to this city where he was a free student of the School of Fine Arts, then (at the request of Jan Matejko) left school and studied only in the SSP.
In 1897 he was one of the founders of the Association of Polish Artists ‘Sztuka’.
His most famous paintings are ‘Wigilia na Syberii’ (‘Christmas Eve in Siberia’), ‘Błedne koło’ (‘Vicious circle’), and ‘Melancholia’ (‘Melancholy’).
