Stanislaw Gałek - painter and sculptor, known primarily as a Tatra landscape painter - initially studied at the Vocational School of Wood Industry in Zakopane, where he later - in 1896-1899 - taught drawing himself as an assistant to Edgar Kováts. In 1899-1900, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow under Jan Stanislawski and Jacek Malczewski. Then, after 1900, he further trained at the Königliche Kunstgewerbeschule in Munich and at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Jean Léon Gérôme. After returning to Poland, he settled in Zakopane.
