Jacek Malczewski was born in 1854. He came from a poor family. Malczewski spent his early childhood with uncle in Radom. A few years later he started his education in a grammar school in Cracow- and there, in this lovely and historic city, in the midst of some excellent painters Malczewski began his real, wonderful career. In 1837 he went to Cracow Academy of Fine Arts, and since then with another great Polish artist- Jan Matejko – he painted his first pictures. He also studied abroad at French universities.
Jacek Malczewski traveled a lot. He took part in a scientific expedition to Asia Minor, he visited Greece, Italy, spent a few months in Munich.
Finally in 1886 he settled down in Cracow for good, where he got married and became a professor, later a chancellor of Cracow Academy Fine of Arts. Late in the years in his life Malczewski became blind. He died in Cracow in 1929.
