Jacek Malczewski is one of the most outstanding painters in the history of Polish art.  His work forms the backbone of all presentations of Polish Modernist art.  The art of the Mloda Polska (Young Poland) movement was a complex phenomenom.  It drew on many sources: Romanticism, the historic and folklore traditions, and contemporary European art, especially from the sundry variants of Symbolism.  Malczewski's oeuvre is estimated at well-nigh 2,000 oil paintings, 1,200 of which are now in museums and private collections.  The largest of these collections may be admired in the National Museums of Poland (Poznan, Warsaw and Cracow).  This album presents a less known collection of 68 Malczewski cancases  now in the art gallery of Lviv (Ukraine).
