Julian Fałat

Julian Fałat

Julian Fałat, (1853 – 1929), was one of the most prolific Polish painters of watercolor and one of the country's foremost landscape painters as well as one of the leading Polish impressionists. Fałat first studied under Władysław Łuszczkiewicz at the Kraków School of Fine Arts, and then at the Art Academy of Munich. After several trips throughout Europe and Asia in 1885, Fałat developed a collection of studies from his voyages which would become useful later in the development of his artwork. Typical of Fałat's painting themes are the Polish landscapes, hunting scenes, portraits and studies from his voyages. In 1886 Fałat accepted an invitation from future German Emperor Wilhelm II to serve in Berlin as court painter.

Fałat died in Bystra Śląska on July 19, 1929. A museum in Poland, called Fałatowka, is devoted to him.

Of his three children Kazimierz (Togo) (1904-1981) continued to paint in watercolour. Some works, having been looted under occupation, very occasionally reappear in sales-rooms. Later works produced after he settled in England are largely in the hands of his later family.

Fałat used to say::"Polish art ought to convey our history and our beliefs, our qualities as well as our defects; it must be the quintessence of our soil, our sky, and our ideals."
