Juliusz Mien junior – painter. From the series: Forgotten inhabitants of Kraków

In multicultural Kraków from the times of Austrian-Hungarian monarchy there were many assimilated foreign artists whose figures are worth bringing back. One of them was Juliusz Mien junior (1865 Blanchefosse–1890 Kraków), a son of Juliusz (Jules) Mien, a French, poet and writer, who settled down in Kraków in 1870, and Petronela Wieczorkowska. Mien junior studied in the Cracow School of Fine Arts and in Munich, and very few of his paintings and drawings, self-portraits and portraits have been preserved in private collections and in the National Museum in Kraków. Like his father, he also wrote poems in Polish.
