Władysław Podkowiński – the harbinger of Polish Modernism

Władysław Podkowiński was born 150 years ago, on 4 February 1866, in Warsaw. He was 'a painter torn with cordial suffering, scorned by the critics, derided by the 'honorable' audience; an artist who walked quickly towards the eternal darkness, who shouted to the world, who wanted to capture light in his works. Outstanding talent, noble character.'

Selected works by Stanisław Wyspiański

Stanisław Wyspiański's versatile talent places him – an artist so strongly associated with Krakow – among the greatest personalities of Polish modernism. His paintings and prints are commonly known, though he was just as passionate about typography and decorative arts. He will also remain in our collective memory as a writer of poetry and dramas. The National Museum in Krakow holds the largest collection of works by Wyspiański in Poland. We encourage everyone to explore our virtual gallery of selected works of the artist – both his most famous works, most widely reproduced and close to the heart of every Pole, and those less popular, but equally outstanding.

  Very few people realize the extent to which the contemporary appearance of two historic symbols of Cracow, Market Square and Wawel Castle, was influenced by the architectural and conservation work of Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz (1883‒1948).
