Henryk Siemiradzki for years cursed and criticized, who during his life used to be most admired artist of his times, now is regaining his fame. His paintings are breaking the auction records (mainly thanks to the new Russian millionaires who buy his paintings and consider him as Russian, charging Poles with stealing the artist and his artwork from them). Artists always considered himself as Polish. On the 27th of April 2007 in the Regional Museum in Stalowa Wola will be oppened exhibition "Unknown Siemiradzki".
