Oil painting by Jerzy Nowosielski - Railways 1971

Jerzy Nowosielski (January 7, 1923 – February 21, 2011) was a Kraków-born Polish painter.  He also had Ukrainian roots.  Jerzy Nowosielski was well known for his religious compositions (wall paintings, iconostases, polychromies) in the Orthodox Churches in Kraków, Białystok and Jelenia Góra, the Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Cross at Wesoła, the Franciscan Church in the Azory district of Kraków, and the Greek Catholic Church in Lourdes, France.He also painted portraits, landscapes, still life, and abstract pictures. His works are found in Polish museums and also in private collections.  This work entitled 'Railways' now hangs in the National Museum in Kraków (Muzeum Narodowe w Krakowie).

This postcard was mailed from the Czech Republic by Daniela who obviously loves art and had bought this postcard from Krakow but have sent this to me as I had specified in my profile in Postcrossing that I love train postcards.
