Early life

This was followed by studies in Vienna and Paris, where he was influenced by the work of Léon Bonnat.[2][3]

[edit]He served as Director of the Kraków Society of Friends of Fine Arts and traveled extensively, visiting Greece, Italy, Turkey and Egypt.[1]
From 1893 to 1918, he was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he painted many portraits at the Imperial Court and became a member of the Vienna Secession.[4] He returned to his native Kraków in 1919.[1]
