Stanisław Kaczor-Batowski was a Polish painter who specialised in realist and romanticist works. Born in Lwów, in 1885 he graduated from the Kraków-based Academy of Fine Arts. A student of Florian Cynk and Władysław Łuszczkiewicz, he moved to Vienna and then Munich, where he studied under the tutelage of Alexander von Liezen-Mayer between 1887 and 1889. He also spent a brief time in Paris and Rome before returning to his natal Lwów, where he spent the rest of his life. From 1903 to 1914 he ran his own painting school in Lviv.
