Józef Chełmoński (1849-1914) was an artist who, both as a man and as a creator, liked to stand out. His naturalism and uncompromising attitude in his youthful canvases, as well as the rejection of established canons of beauty, made his vision of the world difficult to accept by critics brought up on academic norms. Bitter and misunderstood in Warsaw, he went to Paris, where he gained recognition and fame. After returning to his homeland, he gradually withdrew from the world, friends and relatives, focusing entirely on his work.

In the history of Polish painting, Józef Chełmoński has made a name for himself primarily as the creator of unrivaled, atmospheric landscapes. His paintings are not only a faithful representation of nature, but also a deep study of the Polish landscape, full of emotion and poetry. Standing in front of his canvases, we can feel the temperature of the air, hear the sounds, and recognize the scents of plants and earth. It is a true feast for the senses and the soul.
