Wiktor Korecki (Kamieniec Podolski 1890 - 1980 Komorów near Warsaw) - landscape painter. He graduated from high school in Kiev, where he also studied at Aleksander Muraszka's School of Drawing. After graduation he returned to Kamieniec Podolski, from where he left for Warsaw in 1921. There he had a studio. The images collected there were burned during the 1944 uprising. After the uprising, the artist stayed in the camp in Pruszków, from where he went to a labor camp in Leipzig. He returned to Poland in 1946 and settled in Komorów near Warsaw and later in Milanówek. His atmospheric landscapes, emanating calm and serenity, have always enjoyed great popularity. Korecki most often painted winter landscapes with the motif of a forest road and a stream of winding snow, and next to them also spring, summer or autumn views from Mazovia.
