Eugeniusz Marcin Kazimirowski (11 November 1873 – 23 September 1939 in Białystok) was a Polish painter, and member of the realism movement. He is best known for the first depiction of the Divine Mercy image in 1934, based on a request from Faustyna Kowalska and her confessor Michael Sopoćko.^[1]

Background

Kazimirowski studied painting at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts 1892–1897. He continued his studies in Munich, Paris and Rome.^[2] After World War I, he moved from Kraków to Vilnius. He taught at the Vilnius Teacher Training Institute and worked on theatrical design in Vilnius. He painted mostly landscapes and portraits.

Kazimirowski's Divine Mercy was first shown in public at the Easter ceremonies of 25–28 April 1934, and the first Mass with the Divine Mercy image was celebrated by Rev. Michael Sopoćko at the Gate of Dawn church in Vilnius, on 28 April 1935 the second Easter Sunday, long before the Vatican approved the term Divine Mercy Sunday in 2000.^[3]

Most of Kazimirowski's works were lost in World War II.^[2]

-In 1936, Kazimirowski moved to the city of Białystok, where he became involved in marketing tourism. He died there in 1939. Sr. Dominika Stec of the Sisters of the Merciful Jesus (the order St. Faustina wrote about founding in her diary) spoke in an interview on ''The Original Image of Divine Mercy: The Untold Story of an Unknown Masterpiece'', explaining that Kazimirowski "presumably died of pneumonia"<ref name=":0">Dominica Stec, Sisters of the Merciful Jesus - Faustina researcher from Ostrowek, Klembow County, Poland, in ''The Original Image of Divine Mercy: The Untold Story of an Unknown Masterpiece'' film</ref> but that "The real cause of Mr. Kazimirowski's death is unknown."<ref name=":0" />  She describes the era of his death as being difficult and occurring closely after the Communist invasion.
