Stefan Filipkiewicz (Tarnów 1879 - 1944 Mauthausen-Gusen) - Polish painter and printmaker, a student of the landscape studio, the so-called "landscape school" of Jan Stanislawski, and one of the representatives of the landscape painting trend of Young Poland. He studied at the Cracow Academy of Fine Arts in 1900-08 under Florian Cynk, Jozef Mehoffer, Leon Wyczółkowski, Jozef Pankiewicz and Jan Stanislawski. He exhibited at the Society of Friends of Fine Arts in Krakow and Lviv, and at the Warsaw Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts (from 1903). He is considered one of the most outstanding students of Jan Stanislawski. He painted with oil paints, as well as watercolor, in which he achieved impressive, atmospheric effects. In the early period of his career, he also worked in printmaking.
