Beyond the Iron Gate" from 1888, and "The Flower
Market by the Madeleine Church in Paris" from 1890 and
"Mokra Wies" by W. Podkowinski.
Rich and interesting is the representation of the "Young
Poland" period — with works by S. Wyspianski, J. Mehoffer,
W. Weiss (early works), and W. Wojtkiewicz; also noteworthy
is a group of canvasses by J. Malczewski — from the early
period ("Death during Deportation Journey") to the stage
of full maturity ("Landscape with Young Tobias" and
"Thanatos I"), as well as a group of portraits by O. Boznan-
ska.
Gallery of Contemporary Polish Art — com-
prises works by outstanding Polish artists, assembled since
1945. The exhibition (in the ground floor rooms of the main
buiiding) presents the development of contemporary Polish
painting in its various manifestations from the period
between the two world wars to the present day. Particularly
well represented are the colourists. The exhibition contains
major groups of works by Z. Waliszewski, T. Czyzewski,
J. Cybis, E. Eibisch, A. Nacht-Samborski, J. Fedkowicz,
W. Taranczewski, P. Potworowski and J. Lebenstein. Also
exhibited are sculptures by X. Dunikowski, M. Jarema,
A. Wisniewski, A. Szapocznikow and M. Wi$cek.
The Gallery of Foreign Painting — has about
2,000 works, 220 of which are exhibited in the main building
and in the Branches (53 paintings are exhibited in the palace
at Rogalin, 41 at Goluchow). The nucleus of the collection
and its most valuable part is the gallery assembled by Ata-
nazy Raczynski (1788—1874) comprising mainly Italian paint-
ing (B. Daddi, L. Monaco, A. Bronzino, S. da Sermonetta,
F. Bassano, B. Strozzi, M. Stanzioni, and others) and Spanish
painting (F. Zurbaran, J. Antolinez, J. Carreno and the circle
of Velazquez), as well as 19th-century German ("The Naza-
renes"), Netherlandish ("The Crucifixion" from the 15th
century, Q. Massys and J. van Cleve), and Flemish (F. Sny-
ders). Large groups of paintings come from the former
S. Mielzynski coliection and from the Wesendonk collection
(mainly Dutch art). A part of the recovered paintings from
the Goluchow collection was included in the Gallery after
the war ("Portrait of Henry III of Valois" by F. Quesnel and
"Landscape" by S. van Ruysdael). A number of outstanding
paintings of the Dutch school (A. and I. van Ostade, A. Brou-
wer, A. van Bijlert, A. Hanneman) and others, have been
purchased.
The exhibition comprises: Italian painting, headed by B. Dad-
di's "Navicella" and L. Monaco's "Adoration of the Magi",
with a particularly rich group of works of the Venetian
school (G. Beliini, V. Catena, Palma Vecchio, B. Veronese,
A. Moretto, J. and F. Bassano, P. Veronese and G. Salviati)
and outstanding examples of other Italian schools of the 16th
century ("The Lamentation" by S. da Sermonetta and "Por-
trait of Cosimo de Medici" by A. Bronzino). The Baroque
is represented above all by one of B. Strozzi's best works
"The Abduction of Europa" and by M. Stanzioni's "Judith".
Attracting attention in the rooms devoted to the Netherland-
ish painting are: "The Crucifixion" of the Netherlandish
204
Beyond the Iron Gate" from 1888, and "The Flower
Market by the Madeleine Church in Paris" from 1890 and
