# Field of Lupins [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PODKOWINSKI, Wladyslaw]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on panel, 50 x 62 cm ## Commentary In 1889, Wladyslaw Podkowinski and Józef Pankiewicz of the Warsaw College of Art visited Paris for the World Fair. There they encountered Impressionism, and, through Theo van Gogh, the paintings of Cézanne. The exposition of their own work in Warsaw in 1890 signaled the beginning of Impressionism there. In the few years that remained to Podkowinski in his short life, he used very bright and sometimes strongly contrastive colours, split in accordance with divisionist principles, to paint typical Impressionist landscape and garden subjects. ## Related artworks - [Children in the Garden]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
