Landscape painting by Polish painter Mecislas de Rakowski from 1925.

About the artist: Mécislas De Rakowski
Mieczysław (Mécislas) de Rakowski (1882 Wieckowice/Poland - 1947 Jambes/Belgium) was a Polish painter known for his Impressionist landscapes. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, Munich, Florence, and Paris before moving to Belgium in 1920, where he lived until his death.
Rakowski was primarily a landscape painter (the Meuse Valley, the streets and hills of Namur), but he also painted portraits, still lifes, and interiors.
Exhibitions were held in Liège (1928), Brussels (1932), and Namur (1943). The city of Namur owns several works. Some of his works are in public collections, including the National Museum in Kraków.
