“ A Picture Like Many Others”

Leon Wyczółkowski (1852–1936) was a Polish painter and graphic artist associated with the ‘Young Poland’ movement and ‘Realism’, though his later work also incorporated elements of ‘Impressionism’ and ‘Symbolism’. He was known for his portraits, landscapes, and depictions of everyday life, often using ‘pastels and oil paints’.


His painting "Obrazek jakich wiele" (translated as "A Picture Like Many Others") was created in ‘1883’ and is an example of his early ‘Realist’ period. The work portrays a domestic, everyday scene, reflecting his interest in capturing simple, yet expressive, moments of life. The title itself suggests a modest or unremarkable subject, emphasizing ordinary reality rather than idealized beauty.
