Henryk Uziembło (1879-1944) apprenticed at the Industrial School in Cracow and then at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna. In 1902 he entered the Cracow Academy of Fine Arts and studied there under Stanislaw Wyspianski and Teodor Axentowicz. He became famous as an outstanding landscape painter, strongly influenced by the art of Jan Stanislawski. The master's influence is evident in his manner of painting with thick paste, enriching the texture with impastos and building further landscape plans with synthetic brushstrokes. He painted primarily landscapes, often creating views of Krakow, as well as portraits inspired by the folklore of villages near Krakow, the Carpathian Mountains and the Hutsul region.
