Józef Chelmoński prints

Józef Chełmoński was one of the most important representatives of realist painting in Poland. He received his first drawing lessons from his father, who was talented both as a painter and a musician. Later Chełmoński studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under the landscape and history painter Wojciech Gerson. Chełmoński’s work includes so-called genre scenes as well as depictions of Polish and Ukrainian villages, but also pictures of horses and entire hunting scenes.
