About the piece
Created in 1887, Aleksander Gierymski’s 'Piaskarze' (Sand Diggers) is a definitive work of Polish realism. The painting captures the strenuous manual labor of sand extraction on the Vistula River, juxtaposing the gritty industrial activity of the foreground against a luminous, airy sky that showcases the artist's sophisticated understanding of light and atmosphere.
