A historical mural by Julian Nowicki has been created on a historic tenement building at the intersection of Gdańska and Cieszkowskiego Streets. The mural depicts the figure of Józef Święcicki, a builder who left behind many unique tenement buildings in Bydgoszcz.

The mural was created by Julian Nowicki, who is also the artist behind, among other works, the mural of Marian Rejewski on Gdańska Street and the angels at the Academy of Music on 20 Stycznia Street.

The mural depicts Cieszkowskiego Street itself as it appeared in the early 20th century, along with a figure of Józef Święcicki rendered as a vintage photograph. Below the photograph are fragments of his designs, as well as the signature of this distinguished architect. The mural also features the seal of the city council of that time, which appeared on all plans approved for construction at the beginning of the last century.

An important element of the mural are the two windows in the tenement building’s wall—the artist incorporated these existing architectural elements into the mural’s composition. This helped create an additional illusion.
