Kazimierz Alchimowicz
Kazimierz Alchimowicz is a painter Polish born in Dziębrów (Lithuania) in 1840 and deceased with Warsaw in 1916.
Before becoming painter, he is manager of land and buildings in the area of Kiev. He is condemned to 6 years of forced labors in Siberia to have taken part in the insurrection of 1863. On its return in Poland, it is registered with the courses of drawing given to Warsaw by Wojciech Gerson. This one will have a great influence on its artistic work. Thereafter, he studies with Munich and Paris. At the time of its stay in France, to Fontainebleau, it directs for one short period the craftsmen charged artistically to decorate the Porcelaine S and the Faïence S. In 1880, it settles definitively with Warsaw where he very quickly becomes a painter in vogue. It finds its inspiration in patriotic topics (what is not astonishing considering its past of insurgent), histories and arts persons, fitting in the romantic movement. Its work comprises in particular a series of 12 tables inspired of Pan Tadeusz of Adam Mickiewicz (talks with Cracow in 1898) as well as a series of drawings illustrating this work of the Romantisme Polish. It took as a starting point Balladynie , a chief of work of Juliusz Słowacki, to carry out its table Goplana (talk in 1894 with Cracow) which was accommodated with great enthusiasm by the criticism of the time.
