Life
Stabrowski was born in Vilnius into a family of landowners. From 1880 to 1887 he attended secondary school in Białystok . From 1887 to 1897 Stabrowski studied with interruptions at the Russian Art Academy in St. Petersburg under Pawel Petrovich Tschistjakow and (later) Ilya Efimovich Repin . In recognition of his artistic understanding and achievements, Stabrowski was appointed a member of the exhibition jury at the University of St. Petersburg. In 1893 he went on a study tour to the East, during which he visited Beirut, Palestine, Odessa, Constantinople, Greece and Egypt. In 1894 he moved to Germany. In 1897 he continued his education at the Académie Julian in Paris , where he got to know and appreciate Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens . From 1900 he lived in Warsaw, where he first founded a private painting school with Konrad Krzyżanowski . In 1902 he married Julia Janiszewska, a sculptor whom he met at the St. Petersburg Academy.

At first, Stabrowski painted in an academic style; later he developed his own, very decorative style that shows a closeness to the Secession's understanding of art . Stabrowski painted figural compositions with themes from fairy tales, legends and history. The result was symbolically exaggerated works that seem fantastic, sometimes mythical and combined with elements of Art Nouveau. Stabrowski's interest in theosophy is evident. He also created portraits and symbolic landscapes. There are analogies to the techniques and style of the influential Russian artist group Mir Iskusstwa .
In 1900, Stabrowski took part in the World Exhibition in Paris , where he received a large silver medal for his painting "Cisza Wsi" (German: Silence of the Village ). His works were also presented at exhibitions in Munich (1901) and Venice (1903). The picture “Biała noc w Petersburgu” (German: White Night in St. Petersburg ); was bought for the collections of the Neue Pinakothek in Munich , and the landscape painting “Zmierzch w Łazienkach” (German: Twilight in Łazienki Park ) was acquired by the Venetian “Museum of Modern Art Ca 'Pesaro ”. A retrospective of his works took place there in 1915 . Another important presentation by the artist took place in Moscow in 1916. Many of his works are now in the Warsaw National Museum .
