Władysław Drapiewski (12 November 1876, Gacki – 30 December 1961, Pelplin) was a Polish painter who was one of the best-known creators of religious paintings in the first half of the 20th-century in Poland.

The painted characters of the polychrome gave the faces of people such as Tadeusz Korzon, Władysław Smoleński and Stanisław Tarnowski.

In 1914, during World War I, he was arrested and sent to the depths of the Russian Empire, and Czesław Idźkiewicz, his student and assistant, continued his work at that time.

[1] In addition to temples, he also adorned the interiors of public buildings, including in the Marshal Stanisław Małachowski High School in Płock.

The critical attitude to historical aesthetics meant that the work of Drapiewski was contemptuously referred to as "drapiewszczyzną", which was identified with provincialism and lack of taste.
