The Cameldolites' Monastery at Bielany near Krakow is a 1846 oil by Teodor Baltazar Stachowicz, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting shows a monastery at night, with a path leading to the entrance. The building is white, with a brown roof and a tall tower. In the foreground, there are trees and bushes, and a few people are standing around. The sky is dark, with a full moon shining down. The scene is peaceful and serene, with the only light coming from the moon and a few windows in the monastery. The artist has used dark colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye towards the monastery. The Cameldolites' Monastery at Bielany near Krakow is a beautiful example of chiaroscuro, an artistic technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
Teodor Baltazar Stachowicz (1800–1873) was an artist, born in Kraków.
