In the field of art studies, there is a growing interest in data-driven approaches to analyse the spatial organisation of art worlds. Biographical databases of notable individuals have been used to uncover the emergence and decline of globally significant art cities, while less attention has been given to peripheral art systems. This paper aims to address this gap by utilising a curated dataset that contains information about the birth, death, study, and work locations, as well as migrations, of 327 prominent Polish painters to reveal the changing hierarchies of art cities relevant to them, both within and outside of historic Polish lands, between 1760 and 1939. These cities’ positions were determined using four measures: the size of their artistic communities; the prominence of their members; their role as centres of art education; and their centrality in networks of artistic migrations. The study investigates how major geopolitical shifts have impacted the evolution of the Warsaw-Krakow artistic duopoly and other secondary Polish art cities, their connections to art centres of the partitioning powers, and their linkages with major European art cities. The development of Polish art cities is discussed in the context of the varying degrees of political and cultural freedoms in the partitions of Poland, and how these factors influenced the stability of art world institutions in these cities and their capacity to attract talent. This research avenue opens up possibilities for studying spatial patterns of other artistic professions and other national and transnational art systems.

波兰著名画家的地传：1760年至1939年艺术城市等级制度的变化和艺术移民模式

在艺术研究领域，人们对用数据驱动的方法来分析艺术世界的空间组织越来越感兴趣。著名人物的传记数据库已被用来揭示全球重要艺术城市的兴起和衰落，而对外围艺术系统的关注较少。本文旨在通过利用包含 327 名波兰著名画家的出生、死亡、学习和工作地点以及移民信息的精选数据集来解决这一差距，以揭示与他们相关的艺术城市不断变化的层次结构1760 年至 1939 年间，波兰历史悠久的土地内外。这些城市的地位是通过四个指标来确定的：艺术社区的规模；其成员的显赫地位；他们作为艺术教育中心的作用；以及它们在艺术移民网络中的中心地位。该研究调查了重大地缘政治变化如何影响华沙-克拉科夫艺术双头垄断和其他波兰二级艺术城市的演变、它们与瓜分国家艺术中心的联系以及它们与欧洲主要艺术城市的联系。波兰艺术城市的发展是在波兰分裂的不同程度的政治和文化自由的背景下讨论的，以及这些因素如何影响这些城市艺术世界机构的稳定性及其吸引人才的能力。这一研究途径为研究其他艺术专业以及其他国家和跨国艺术系统的空间模式开辟了可能性。
