Czeslaw Wasilewski 1875 Warsaw - 1947 Lódz Czeslaw Wasilewski, alias Ignacy Zygmuntowicz, was a Polish painter and probably self-taught. Not much is known about his artistic education. On the one hand, there is a record that he enrolled at the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 1911, but there is no documentation of him completing his studies. On the other hand, in the early 1920s Wasilewksi worked for Wojciech Kossaks, a teacher at the Warsaw School of Art, who probably taught Wasilewski. His oeuvre includes numerous depictions of horse-drawn sleigh rides, mostly in front of a wintry landscape, hunting scenes, and other depictions of animals, as well as occasional still lifes. From 1930 he signed his works with the surname "Zygmuntowicz" or initials. His works were exhibited many times, among others at the Society for the Promotion of Fine Arts in Warsaw.
