Władysław Podkowiński (1866-1895) was a Polish master painter and illustrator associated with the Young Poland movement during the Partition period (The Partitions of Poland were three partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth that took place toward the end of the 18th century and ended the existence of the state, resulting in the elimination of sovereign Poland and Lithuania for 123 years.)
Podkowiński was born in Warsaw and began his artistic training at Wojciech Gerson's drawing school.
He then transferred to the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts where he studied between 1880 and 1884.
After graduating, Podkowinski began to contribute to many of the leading art journals in Warsaw at the time.
