Hello;
Grave in Lychakivskiy Cemetery of polish paiter Arthur Grottger.

from Wikipedia:
Artur Grottger (1837-1867) was a Polish painter and graphic designer, one of the most prominent artists of the early 1800s despite his brief life.

He was born in Eastern Galicia to an amateur artist of German background, Jan Jozef Grottger, and a Polish mother. Grottger studied painting under the apprenticeships of Jan Kanty Maszkowski and Juliusz Kossak in Lwów. Grottger received an imperial scholarship to attend the Krakow School of Fine Arts, where he studied under Władysław Łuszczkiewicz and Wojciech Kornel Stattler. Around this time he met one of his biggest future art patrons and benefactors, Aleksander Pappenheim.

Grottger painted mostly epic battle scenes. He moved to Vienna in 1854, where he produced some of his most famous paintings. In 1865, Grottger returned to Poland and stayed in Kraków and Lwów, but left this time for good in 1866. Arriving in Paris, he became seriously ill and died. His last painting was his self portrait.
His body was brought and burried by his fiancee to Lviv graveyard.


WS-I did a b/w shot with focused on coloured flowers that are polish national colours to show that it was a polish artist.

Hi Karolina,
Indeed, you captured the mood.
A nice statue which is b/w, with the red rose on it. An eye-cather-rose. Good note explaining this.
TFS.

Witaj!
A, byłem tam. I to nawet dwa razy. To wspaniały cmentarz. I ile tam ważnych osobistości spoczywa! Ciekawie to wypadło.
Pozdrawiam.

czolem karolina,
a very touching image.
keeping the rose in colour was a good idea.

my only criticism is that she has lost the top of her head.
apart from that it is a nicely composed and worked image.
pozdrawiam,
Brian

Witaj Karolinko!
Widze, ze obie jestesmy dzisiaj w temacie "pomnikowym". :)
Zaluje, ze nigdy nie bylam na tym cmentarzu, a szkoda, bo ta nekropolia, to kawal naszej historii.
Piekny pomnik i piekne zdjecie.
Wspaniale, ze zdecydowalas sie wlasnie na tonacja cz-b, tylko roza czerwona...efekt fantastyczny.
Gratuluje i caluje.
Barbara
