Exploring the Art

The National Gallery in Krakow interested me because of the city history. Many painters in this gallery were painting during times of political and economic stress. The gallery had a range, from painting made during Polands golden age ( The Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth ) 1669-1795. A time on relative harmony from the polish people. To 20th Century art from the Nazi occupation of Poland to its time as a USSR satellite state during the Soviet Union. This Museum takes us floor- to- floor on the entire history of Poland , told through the eyes of the artist.
