Henryk Siemiradzki, born on October 24, 1843 in Novobelgorod near Kharkiv, was a creative genius who gained recognition as an outstanding exponent of Salon Painting and Academic Art. His works reflected the diversity of human experience and over the years have become eminently suitable for reproduction as high quality art prints, which our company produces with great pride.
Siemiradzki, originally a graduate of the Kharkiv University Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, discovered his passion for art during his studies. Despite his science education, he was drawn to painting, drawing particular inspiration from the butterflies he collected throughout his life. Through lessons with Dmytro Bezperchy, a well-known artist of his time, Siemiradzki was able to further hone his skills. Siemiradzki continued his artistic education at the prestigious Petersburg Academy and began his artistic journey, which took him to France and Germany in 1870. In particular, his time in Munich under the auspices of Karl Theodor von Piloty had a strong influence on his artistic work. In 1872 he moved to Rome, a city known for its vibrant art scene and historical wealth.
The subjects of his works were often borrowed from Greek and Roman antiquity, and he sometimes picked up themes from the New Testament. In Siemiradzki's elaborate depictions, each art print radiated a brilliant splendor of color, enhanced by the skillful play of sunlight and careful recreation of materiality. His impressive magnum opus, "The Living Torches of Nero," is a prime example of his ability to create both fascination and revulsion.
Henryk Siemiradzki's art was dynamic and dramatic, expressing the human experience in all its diversity. The expressiveness of his works, as expressed in each of his art prints, continues to set standards in the world of art to this day. Death overtook this great artist on August 23, 1902 in Strzałków near Czestochowa, but his legacy lives on in the numerous art prints that preserve his unique works for eternity.
