Kazimierz Teofil Pochwalski (1855-1940) was a Polish painter known primarily for his portraits, although he produced works in a wide variety of genres.
Pochwalski was born in Kraków on 25 December 1855 and came from a family that produced several generations of painters and his younger brother Władysław also became a well-known artist. From 1871 to 1879, he studied at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts under Jan Matejko, then attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, from 1879 to 1888. This was followed by studies in Vienna and Paris, where he was influenced by the work of Léon Bonnat.
He served as Director of the Kraków Society of Friends of Fine Arts and traveled extensively, visiting Greece, Italy, Turkey and Egypt.
From 1893 to 1918, he was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he painted many portraits at the Imperial Court and became a member of the Vienna Secession. He returned to his native Kraków in 1919. He died on 7 November 1940.
Notable people painted by Pochwalski include Henryk Sienkiewicz, Leon Piniński, Agenor Maria Gołuchowski, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Józef Ignacy Kraszewski.
