University of Warsaw

Reproduction of a painting on a postcard.

A work by a Polish artist who created her artworks at the beginning of the 19th century. She was known for her masterful watercolor works and depictions of architectural structures. Unfortunately, little information is known about the author.

In the center of the composition is Warsaw University, which was built in 1816. Namely, its central building. At that time, it was one of the leading educational institutions in Poland. The architectural style is mostly classicism.

For the work, the artist most likely used watercolor and gouache, which were popular materials in the works of artists of the 19th-20th centuries.

We see a lively day, perhaps an autumn one. The atmosphere of quiet calm is conveyed by the motionless trees and unhurried characters who are going about their business. And the almost cloudless and sunny sky adds special warmth and coziness to the canvas.
