Biography
He studied art from 1883 to 1887 in Munich under Karl Raupp and Nikolaus Gysis, as well as in the studios of Jozef Brandt and Alfred Wierusz-Kowalski. From 1904 he was active in Poznań, where he was a member of the Society of Friends of Fine Arts and the Society of Artists. He exhibited in Poznan, Krakow, Warsaw and Lvov, as well as in Berlin, St. Petersburg, Munich and Kiev. He collaborated on several panoramas: with Julian Fałat, Wojciech Kossak, Antoni Piotrowski and Jan Stanisławski on "Berezina"; with Jan Styka - on painting "Bem in Transylvania"; with Wojciech Kossak, Józef Ryszkiewicz and Zygmunt Rozwadowski - on composing "Battle of the Pyramids". The dominant theme in the artist's work was realistic landscapes with particular emphasis on luministic effects.
