Roman Kazimierz Kochanowski (1857, Cracow - 1945, Freising, Bavaria) - Polish landscape painter, associated with the Cracow artistic community of the late 19th and early 20th century. He specialized in atmospheric, realistic depictions of villages, fields, streams and country roads, often with the presence of figures or animals. His works are distinguished by subtle observation of nature, soft light and harmonious colors.
He worked mainly in oil and watercolor, and his oeuvre includes numerous landscapes from the vicinity of Krakow and Bavaria, where he spent the last years of his life. Today, his paintings regularly appear at art auctions and are in constant demand by collectors.
