Stanislaw Wyspianski – playwright, poet, stagecraftsman, creator of modern Polish theater. He was born in Krakow on January 15, 1869, and died there on November 28, 1907.
He received a thorough education; after high school graduation, he studied painting at the School of Fine Arts under Jan Matejko. He also enrolled in the Faculty of Philosophy at Jagiellonian University. In May 1891 he went to study in Paris, but was not accepted. So he started painting in one of the Paris studios.
In September 1894, he returned to Krakow. He continued to paint pictures, and also began writing dramas and opera librettos.
Wyspianski practiced very different fields of art, executed with great courage and panache. He drew up plans for the restoration of historical monuments, composed polychrome and monumental stained glass windows for Krakow’s Franciscan Church, and designed the layout of the magazine “Life.” He painted paintings and designed furniture, wrote dramas and prepared stage plans. He worked quickly and extremely intensely – his very diverse legacy was created in just over a dozen years of creative life.

Boticcelli Double room
Sandro Botticelli, actually Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi, was born on March 1, 1445 in Florence. An Italian painter of the Florentine school who worked in the early and mature periods of the Renaissance.
In 1470, at the age of 25, he opened his own studio, where he executed commissions from wealthy Florentine families, while from 1472 he was listed in the Guild of St. Luke as an independent painter.
He spent most of his life in his native Florence, making a few trips, including to Rome, Pisa and probably Mugello. He very quickly found patrons, a family related to the Medici family. Later in his career, he succumbed to the ascetic ideology preached by Savonarola, which significantly influenced his painting style.
Botticelli’s style can be described as “poetic”. He was a painter of feminine charm. He created perfect luminosity of robes and used natural decorativeness in the depiction of movement. Features of Botticelli’s works also include cool and pure color and precision of drawing.
The painter died in Florence before May 17, 1510.

In 1869 he attended the private studio of Franz Adam. From 1873 to 1874 he stayed in Rome, where his first known paintings were created: the Roman Austeria and the Game of Mora, which were exhibited at the Zachęta in early 1875. From late 1875 to 1879, Aleksander Gierymski stayed in Italy working intensively to perfect his artistic craft.
The most brilliant period of Aleksander Gierymski’s work was during the years 1879-1888, which the artist spent in Warsaw. During this period he became associated with a group of young writers and painters from the positivist movement.
Aleksander Gierymski spent the last years of his life in Italy. He probably died on March 8, 1901 in Rome in a hospital for the mentally ill.

Vermeer Double room
Johannes Vermeer was born in 1632 in Delft, where he also died in 1675. He was a Dutch painter who was forgotten for many years. It was only in the 19th century that his work was rediscovered. At first Vermeer painted religious pictures, but he became famous as the author of genre scenes. His paintings capture the extraordinary beauty of the everyday life of the bourgeoisie. Vermeer is considered a master of handling light. The artist is credited today with a little over 30 paintings, and this is probably his entire artistic output. Many of them depict women in residential interiors. The heroines of his paintings are often busy reading a letter, talking, weighing pearls. The painter also created landscapes. One of the most famous is the one depicting a view of his hometown, Delft.
Vermeer’s paintings inspire and spark the imagination of artists to this day, as exemplified by the book and movie about the mysterious Girl with a Pearl, which the artist portrayed in one of his canvases.
