Alfred Kowalski (1849–1915), often known as Alfred Kowalski-Wierusz, was a highly celebrated Polish painter renowned for his captivating depictions of 19th-century Polish life and landscapes, particularly his masterful winter scenes.
A leading figure of the Munich School, where he studied and lived for much of his life, Kowalski became famous across Europe and North America for his dramatic yet detailed genre paintings. His signature works often feature sleigh rides, wolf attacks, bustling village markets, and travelers braving the snow, all rendered with a striking sense of movement, dramatic lighting, and deep, evocative color palettes.
Kowalski’s ability to capture the specific atmosphere and narrative of rural life under a heavy blanket of snow made him one of the most recognizable and beloved Polish realist painters of his time.
