SZOŁAYSKI HOUSE

The beautiful 17th-century house of the Szołayski family is home to the works of Stanisław Wyspiański (1869-1907), a local and also one of the most original artists of the early 20th century. A true jack-of-all-trades, he was a writer, playwright, painter, photographer and cabinetmaker. Among his drawings, canvases or pastels, are portraits, especially of children or peasant women, landscapes or flowers. A true prodigy, he produced numerous stained glass windows, notably for the Church of Our Lady, the Franciscan Church and the Wawel Cathedral.
