Ignacy Zygmuntowicz (1875 Warsaw - 1947 Łódź), Meeting on the road

Biography
The artist was active in Warsaw and is sometimes identified with Czeslaw Wasilewski. He most often painted showy carriages, sleds, battle scenes, winter landscapes, and 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 (for example, in Katowice, Częstochowa, Gdynia, Kalisz). His works are in the collections of the National Museum in Warsaw, and in museums in Lancut, Leszno and Lodz.
