Cranes Take Off by Jozef Chelmonski, 1870

This is a reproduction of “Cranes Take Off” of 1870 by Jozef Marian Chelmonski.  After being taught drawing by his father, Jozef Chelmonski entered the Warsaw Drawing Class in 1867 when he was eighteen.  He moved to Munich when he was twenty-two where he studied further with Polish painters there.  In 1872 he toured Polish lands under Russian administration and painted mostly landscapes.  He went to Paris three years later and became very popular.  He returned to live out his days in Poland in 1887 and he died there in 1914. This masterpiece is in the National Museum in Krakow, Poland.
