Jan Stanisławski
Jan Stanisławski (born June 24, 1860 in Olschana , Russian Empire , † January 6, 1907 in Kiev ) was a Polish painter.
Stanisławski was the main exponent of newer Polish landscape painting . He created small atmospheric paintings with lively color and light effects. Stanisławski was strongly influenced by Claude Monet .
He was born in what is now the Ukrainian Oblast of Cherkassy and studied mathematics at Warsaw University and in Saint Petersburg . He learned painting with Wojciech Gerson in Warsaw, later in Krakow and in Paris. In Cracow in 1887 he took over the chair for landscape painting at the art school .
He mostly created small-format, freely painted landscapes. Stanisławski was friends with the Kraków bohemian artists and argued with followers of traditional painting. He met with his friends in the restaurant " Jama Michalika " (German: Michaliks Höhle ), the seat of the cabaret "Zielony Balonik" (German: Green balloon ).
He led his students outside, far from the musty, dark studio. He is considered to be the founder of the Kraków School of Landscape Painting.
