Biography
Franciszek Żmurko began his studies in drawing and painting with Franciszek Tepa in Lviv, and continued in 1874- 81 with Jan Matejko at the School of Fine Arts in Krakow, as well as in Vienna, Rome and at the Munich Academy with A. Wagner (1878- 80). After his studies, until 1882, he lived in Cracow, later settling in Warsaw. He traveled a lot - he visited France, Germany, Holland, St. Petersburg. The artist's works were highly regarded by critics and the public; he took part in numerous exhibitions at home (in Warsaw, Krakow, Lviv, Vilnius, Zhytomyr) and abroad, including France, Germany, Holland, England, as well as Chicago and San Francisco. He painted academic compositions of ancient, allegorical-symbolic and sometimes historical and religious themes, as well as portraits.
