Józef Chełmoński: "Czwórka"

When you stand in front of this painting, you feel like you are going to get hit and there is no way to jump out of the way.

The painting was acquired in Italy by Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, the son of Izabela Czartoryska and Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski in 1798 and incorporated into the Czartoryskis’ family collections at Puławy in 1800. The inscription on the top-left hand corner of the painting, LA BELE FERIONIERE. LEONARD D'AWINCI., was probably added by a restorer shortly after its arrival in Poland,[4] and before the background was overpainted.[5] Czartoryski was clearly aware that it was a Leonardo, though the painting had not ever been discussed in print; unfortunately, there is no record of any previous owner. The Belle Ferronière is the Leonardo portrait in the Louvre, whose sitter bears such a close resemblance that the Czartoryskis considered this sitter to be the same. The painting travelled extensively in the nineteenth century; Princess Czartoryski rescued it in advance of the invading Russian army in 1830, hidden, then sent to Dresden and on to the Czartoryski place of exile in Paris, the Hôtel Lambert, returning it to Kraków in 1882. In 1939, almost immediately after the German occupation of Poland, it was seized by the Nazis and sent to the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin. In 1940 Hans Frank, the Governor General of Poland, requested that it be returned to Kraków, where it hung in his suite of offices. At the end of the Second World War it was discovered by Allied troops in Frank's country home in Bavaria. It has since returned to Poland and is once more on display at the Czartoryski Museum in Kraków.

How did Krakow end up with a Leonardo Da Vinci?

W 1800 obraz zakupił książę Adam Jerzy Czartoryski i sprezentował go swojej matce Izabeli Czartoryskiej. Wystawiany był w Domu Gotyckim w Puławach. W czasie powstania listopadowego wywieziony do Paryża. Pod koniec XIX wieku, około 1880 sprowadzony do Krakowa do tworzonego tam Muzeum Czartoryskich. W 1939 obraz został zagrabiony przez okupantów niemieckich służył jako dekoracja wawelskiej rezydencji Hansa Franka, następnie wywieziony do Niemiec skąd w 1946 został ponownie sprowadzony do Krakowa.
