Biography
Sometimes identified with Ignacy Zygmuntowicz. He was active in Warsaw. Most often painted showy carriages, sleds, battle scenes, winter landscapes, hunting scenes. He used with talent the painterly achievements of Polish painters studying at the Munich academy and deftly referred to the painting style of Wojciech Kossak. At the same time, in many of his compositions he presented a slightly different, almost veristic approach to nature, creating suggestive illusions of reality. He participated in exhibitions in Lublin in 1922, in Warsaw, at the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts in the 1920s, as well as in many exhibitions showing the achievements of Polish painters in various cities ( Katowice, Częstochowa, Gdynia, Kalisz). His works are in the collections of the National Museum in Warsaw, in museums in Lancut, Leszno and Lodz.
