\u2018Every picture tells a story\u2019 is a familiar phrase, but understanding the story, and the artist, is always more rewarding with expert explanations. The artist in question is one of Poland\u2019s greatest painters, and the subject of a major exhibition,\u00a0Stanis\u0142aw Wyspia\u0144ski: Portraits<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>at the National Portrait Gallery until 13 July, 2025. This is actually the first exhibition of Wyspia\u0144ski\u2019s portraits to be held in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expert panel includes Dr Alison Smith and Professor Andrzej Szczerski, who are Co-Curators of the\u00a0Stanis\u0142aw Wyspia\u0144ski: Portraits<\/strong>\u00a0exhibition, with Dr Julia Griffin moderating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets: <\/strong>8 June | Stanis\u0142aw Wyspia\u0144ski: Portraits<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together they will explain the rationale behind the exhibition, and explore Wyspia\u0144ski\u2019s artistic aims and vision. Wyspia\u0144ski believed monumental decorative schemes and ornamentation were his true forte, but also intended his portraits to break the barrier separating the fine and decorative arts. Meanwhile, every aspect of Wyspia\u0144ski\u2019s art \u2013 including portraiture \u2013 expressed a sense of Polish identity. This sense was at the core of the Young Poland movement, in which Wyspia\u0144ski played a leading role. Emerging in the late nineteenth century this movement spanned art, music and literature, and was characterised by Romanticism, Modernism, folk art and Nationalism. Consequently, this encapsulated the hope that Poland would regain independence (having been partitioned by Russia, Prussia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire).<\/p>\n\n\n
