Yuliian Pankevych

With financial assistance from the Dzieduszycki family, he was able to study at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts under the direction of Jan Matejko.

During the 1890s, he painted one of his best-known works; an iconostasis featuring the Madonna at the Church of St.Prophet Elijah in Borshchiv [uk].

From 1892 to 1898, he worked in Stanyslaviv (now Ivano-Frankivsk) and the villages of Prykarpattia, where he organized choruses, gave art lessons, painted churches, and gathered folklore.

In 1903, he created illustrations for Chords [uk], an anthology of Ukrainian folk lyrics, compiled and edited by Ivan Franko, who personally chose him for the assignment.

In 1918, he illustrated Баронський син в Америці (The Baroness' Son in America), a collection of fairy tales by Volodymyr Hnatiuk.
