Wladyslaw Chmielinski (Warsaw 1911 - Warsaw 1979) was a painter associated with Warsaw, where he lived and worked permanently. From 1926 to 1931 he studied at the Warsaw Municipal School of Decorative Arts and Painting (the former Drawing Class). The leading subject of his paintings was urban views, painted in oil and watercolor. In 1935-1938, he created a series of watercolors depicting objects of Polish architecture; among them, views of Sandomierz, Cracow, Kazimierz on the Vistula River, as well as interiors of historic churches or palaces, including the Royal Castle in Warsaw and the Wilanów Palace. He also painted landscapes and rural genre scenes - sleigh rides, sledges, carriages, weddings, horses against a landscape background. In 1967-1969 he traveled to Denmark for extended stays. In 1936-1939 the artist also used the pseudonym "Władysław Stachowicz".
