Later life
He initially settled in Cracow and painted historical scenes, inspired by his mentor, Matejko.
He was only there briefly, however, before moving to Munich, where he and Antoni Kozakiewicz opened a joint studio. Together, they formed a group of expatriate Polish artists that included Józef Brandt and Alfred Kowalski. He also became a member of the Kunstverein München. Later, he took several study trips to Galicia and Hungary.
Over time, he switched from historical painting to genre scenes, from the lives of farmers and Romani people. His works may be seen in collections in Germany, Austria, England and the United States. Some of his works appeared as illustrations in Die Gartenlaube of Leipzig.
In 1881, he married the painter, Maria Theresia Friedl (1855-1908).
