Ludwik Gędłek (Kraków 1847 - Vienna 1904) began his artistic studies at the Kraków School of Fine Arts under Władysław Łuszczkiewicz, and continued them at the Vienna Academy under Eduard Lichtenfels and Carl Wurzinger between 1872 and 1877. As early as 1863, he made his debut at an exhibition at the TPSP in Cracow, where he later exhibited several more times. He lived permanently in Vienna, from where he also sent paintings for exhibitions to the TPSP in Lvov, to Aleksander Krywult's Salon in Warsaw and to Dresden. He painted mainly genre and battle scenes with a frequent motif of horses, as well as landscapes, mainly from the vicinity of Cracow. The artist's paintings can be found, among others, in the National Museum in Warsaw, the Lviv Picture Gallery and the Polish Museum in Chicago
