Stanislaw Czajkowski (Warsaw 1878 - Sandomierz 1954)- younger brother of painter Jozef Czajkowski, began his study of painting with Wojciech Gerson in Warsaw. Later, in 1896-1903 and 1906/1907, he studied at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts under Jacek Malczewski, Jozef Mehoffer, Leon Wyczółkowski and Jan Stanislawski, and then at the Munich Academy (1903) and the Académie Julian in Paris (1904-1906). After his studies, he traveled to Italy, and returning to Poland he made numerous painting trips around the country, going to Ukraine, among other places. He spent the years 1914-1918 in the Netherlands; the landscapes he painted there were presented at solo exhibitions in The Hague, Amsterdam and Rotterdam. After World War I, as an assistant to Tadeusz Pruszkowski, he taught plein-air classes with students at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, and became a professor at the academy in 1950. He was primarily a landscape painter, but also painted genre rural and small-town scenes.
