Władysław Galimski (Kyiv 1860 – 1940 Bydgoszcz) – Polish painter, landscape artist, and portraitist. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg under P. Chistiakov (1880–88), where he received the title of “First-Class Artist.” Together with W. Kotarbiński, J. Stanisławski, and other artists, he founded an artistic society in Kyiv, as well as a private school of drawing and painting, which was later transformed into the Polish School of Fine Arts. He exhibited extensively, including at the annual exhibitions of the St. Petersburg Academy (1885–1889), at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, in Kyiv, Kraków (TPSP), Warsaw (TZSP), Kharkiv, Moscow, and Odessa. He painted primarily genre scenes depicting rural life and landscapes.
