Władysław Łoziński

He studied philosophy at the University of Lwów, and was an editor of many Galician newspapers and magazines (Dziennik Literacki, Przegląd Powszechny, Gwiazdka Cieszyńska), and especially the Gazeta Lwowska which he reformed and expanded.

His most widely recognized fiction book is Oko proroka czyli Hanusz Bystry i jego przygody.

[1] Another notable work is Madonna Busowiska, a novel which plot take place in Galicia at the end of the 19th century, and its main character is a peasant woman Nasta who wants to commemorate the memory of her late son by funding an icon of Mother Mary to one of the church in the village.

The painter responsible for it breaks the canon of iconography by giving Mother Mary face of her cousin which causes the outrage.

Lozinski bequeathed his art collection to the city and the building accommodating it, the palace formerly owned by Isabella Diduszycka at 3 Stefanyka Street, to his nephew Valerii.
