(ЖУКОВСКИЙ Станислав Юлианович)
Stanislav Zhukovsky (Jędrychowice near Grodno 1875 - Pruszków 1944) - landscape painter; studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture from 1892-1901, including under Sergei Korovin, Abram Archipov and Isaak Levitan. After his studies, he remained in Russia. From 1896 he participated in the exhibitions of the Society of Peripheral Artists; in 1907 he received the title of academician. From 1923 he lived permanently in Warsaw, where he exhibited many times at the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts. He was primarily an accomplished landscape painter; he also painted interiors and, less frequently, portraits. His paintings, always highly regarded, were repeatedly awarded medals at exhibitions - including Autumn Evening, which was awarded a gold medal at an international exhibition in Munich in 1912. While in Russia, the artist usually signed his works in Cyrillic, later in Latin alphabet. Many of his paintings are in Polish museum collections and in museums in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Minsk. A catalog of the artist's known works is included in a richly illustrated monograph, by M.U.Gorelov[Stanislav Yulianovich Zhukovskiy, Moscow 1982].
