Women fleeing from the fire is an oil by Antoni Murzynowski, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
The painting depicts two women in a state of distress, fleeing from a fire. The woman in the foreground is barefoot and wears a white dress with a yellow headscarf, while the woman behind her is dressed in a white shirt and a red headscarf, holding a baby wrapped in a striped cloth. The background is dark, with hints of brown and black. The women's facial expressions convey a sense of fear and urgency, as they rush to escape the danger. The artist's use of color and composition effectively captures the drama and tension of the scene. For more works that explore the use of chiaroscuro, explore the technique: chiaroscuro.
Antoni Murzynowski carried a paintbrush like a daily habit, the way others carry a wallet.
