The thirty-third album in the series on Polish painting presents the life and art of one of the most outstanding Polish female painters – Anna Bilińska. As the first Pole, she graduated from an art university and became successful in the French capital. Bilińska studied under the supervision of Andriolli and Gerson, as well as at the prestigious Académie Julian. She was a realist painter, and her key focus was portrait characterised by sentimentality, subtle colours, and particular precision in depicting contours and textures. Her “Self-Portrait” was awarded e.g. with the silver medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1889. This book, with an introduction by Agnieszka Bagińska, keeper of the National Museum in Warsaw, presents over 50 works of the artist, such as “Lady with Binoculars” (1884), “Portrait of a Young Woman with a Rose in Her Hand” (1892) and “A Negress” (1884).
