Summary/Abstract: During the stay of the Polish painter Stanisław Żukowski (1873-1944) in Russia (1892-1923), his work was able to develop thanks to the help of many patrons and art collectors. The second half of the 19th century and early 20th were defined as the “golden age of Russian patronage,” a time when museums and galleries of European importance were established. In the 20th century, but still during the time of the Russian Empire, Stanisław Żukowski’s paintings appeared in Russian private and state galleries. Its patrons and collectors included representatives of the aristocratic families of the Russian Empire, as well as representatives of the merchant, industrial and banking circles of Russian society at that time.
