oil, cardboard
49 x 69 cm
Signed l.d.: Juliusz Słabiak
Juliusz Slabiak- artist associated with the artistic community of Krakow. He learned painting under the auspices of Wojciech Kossak, finding work as an assistant in his studio. He created primarily in oil technique. His work is dominated by landscapes, forest views, often enlivened by parts of staffage, as well as Krakow motifs. A significant part of his oeuvre consists of genre scenes set in the realities of villages near Krakow: depictions of modest peasant homesteads, wooden churches, horse carts or wiry horsemen, as well as Krakow weddings in colorful folk costumes. His works, painted with great verve and using a slightly muted color range, reveal an impressionistic sensitivity to light and color. He was a continuator of the tradition of realist painting of the 19th century, above all the Munich painters.
