Juliusz (Julian) MAKAREWICZ (1854–1936). A painter and conservator, he studied at the Faculty of Architecture of the Lviv Polytechnic; thanks to a scholarship from Count Karol Lanckoroński, he began his studies at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, which he continued in Munich at the local Academy of Fine Arts, and then in Rome. After his travels abroad, he co-founded a painting school for women in Lviv and settled permanently in Kraków. He was a versatile artist; he worked in oil painting, was particularly drawn to watercolor and pastel drawing, and also engaged in mural painting and illustration. He was an outstanding conservator and a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków.
