Jozef Chelmonski - National Museum, Warsaw

 Salvete Omnes,

auriga, wagon driver - woznica

a short entry -
National Mseum of Arts in Warsaw, Poland holds this special exhibit  - a showcase of Jozef Chelmonski's painting.

there was no music like the folk music, Chopin's mazurkas etc came from this tradition

this temporary exhibit ends on January 26, 2025 and who knows when they gonna have another one. 

So if you are in Warsaw, Poland, these coming weeks perhaps make a trip to the museum, right in the heart of Warsaw, near the Poniatowski Bridge on the Vistula (Wisla) River.

Nota bene there will be a lecture on the 19th of December 2024 about the carriages and sleigh, horse tack and traveling during the times of Jozef Chelmonski.

Polish Jewish wagon driver 

old master of Mazowsze is collectible in Poland and without, eg Sotheby's Chelmonski - Four Horse Wagon on a Rainy Day. or Lempertz. 

my favorite non-equestrian painting of Chelmonski - it remainds of the woods of my childhood in Lowicz Masovia (Mazowsze)
