Tadeusz Popiel (1863–1913) also exhibited widely, winning medals at the Exposition Universelle (1889) and the California Midwinter International Exposition of 1894. His major works of this period included decorations at the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua (the result of winning a competition) and at theaters in LwóWest He also designed murals, frescoes and stained glass windows for churches and other public buildings throughout Poland. Later, he established a drawing school and was one of the founders of the Society of Artists in Poznań. At various times, he lived in Krakow, Lwów and Czerniowce. During his later years, he spent most of his time in Swoszowice, where he had his studio, and increasingly turned to landscapes. By the time of his death, his work was considered to be old-fashioned and he is chiefly remembered for the work he did on several panoramas produced by January Styka. Such as the Racławice Panorama and the Transylvania Panorama.
