Younger brother of the painter Maksymilian Gierymski. He studied (1867) at the Warsaw Drawing Class, then (1868–73) at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich under Georg Hiltensperger (1806–90) and Alexander Strähuber (1814–82), and later under Karl Theodor von Piloty. While in Munich he contributed illustrations to Polish, German and Austrian magazines. On a visit to Venice and Verona in 1871 he was especially impressed by the work of 15th-century Venetian artists; this new enthusiasm was reflected in his prize-winning painting of a subject set by the Munich Akademie, a scene from Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice (1872; destr., see Starzynski, pl. 4). After accompanying his dying brother to various spa towns and other locations, he settled in Rome in mid-1874. Two genre scenes from this period, Roman Tavern and A Game of Mora (both 1874; Warsaw, N. Mus.), show the influence of Dutch painting. Gierymski remained in Italy until 1879, mostly resident in Rome. He largely produced studies based on Italian Renaissance painting (e.g. Italian Siesta ; Warsaw, N. Mus.) and plein-air studies for his painting The Bower (1st version 1874–80; destr. by artist; 2nd version 1882; Warsaw, N. Mus.). The long series of studies he produced for this work, (e.g. Begonias , 1876–80, Lódz, Mus. A.; and Second Study for the Bower , Warsaw, N. Mus.) were often deliberately presented as finished works.
