Young Poland, Regional Museum of Limanowska Land

Wystawa malarstwa Młodej Polski

The exhibition presents paintings of the two most renowned artists from the Young Poland period: Franciszek Mrażek and Maksymilian Brożek, whose drawings and oil paintings mostly present genre scenes and Limanowa landscapes from the early 20th century. Franciszek Mrażek was born in Nowy Sącz in 1891 and grew up in Limanowa, where his parents came from. He studied in the Krakow studio of Aleksander Mroczkowski (a student of Jan Matejko) and, after that, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and Munich. He returned to his homeland after the first world war and the rest of his life and art was focused on Limanowa, were he died in 1970. Maksymilian Brożek was born in 1897 in Tarnow and died in 1977 in Limanowa. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow learning from Jacek Malczewski among others. He used to paint portraits, landscapes and genre scenes. He was creating drawings, graphic arts and book illustrations, for example, to accompany the works by Adam Mickiewicz. He was called ‘the last painter of Young Poland’.
