Stanislaus von Chlebowski .........(2)
(Pokutynka, Podole 1835 - 1884 Kowanowko)
Stanislaw Chlebowski attended the academy of St. Petersburg, and continued his studies in Munich and in Paris where he was a student under Jean-Léon Gérôme. In 1864 Chlebowski was invited to serve as a royal painter in the court of Sultan Abdulaziz (1861-1876) and left for Constantinople. Other notable artists serving in the Sultan's court at the time were Ivan Constantinovitsch Aivazovsky and Pierre Désiré Guillemet. Chlebowski remained in the city until 1876 and painted a number of canvases depicting various episodes of Turkish History which are now housed in the Dolmabahce Museum, Istanbul. After a short stay in Paris (1876-1880), Chlebowski moved to Krakow and remained there until his death in 1884. The Museum in Krakow houses some of his other important Orientalist works such as Entrée de Mahomet II á Stamboul.
