Wiktor Korecki (Kamieniec Podolski 1890 - Komorów near Warsaw 1980) - landscape painter - graduated from high school in Kyiv, where he studied at the Alexander Murashko Drawing School. After his studies he returned to Kamieniec Podolski, from where he moved to Warsaw in 1921. Here he had a studio on the corner of Tamka and Cicha streets. Unfortunately, the paintings collected there were burned during the 1944 Uprising. After the uprising the artist was in a camp in Pruszkow from where he was sent to a labor camp in Leipzig. He returned to Poland in 1946 and settled in Komorów near Warsaw and later in Milanowek. His atmospheric landscapes emanating peace and serenity were always very popular. Korecki most often painted winter landscapes with a motif of a forest road and a stream meandering among the snows, and alongside them he also painted spring, summer or autumn views of Mazovia.
