Anna May-Rychter (Regensburg 1864-1955), probably active under the pseudonym Józef Pawlikiewicz, was a realist painter of the early 20th century best known for her watercolors of the Holy Land. She studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, where Nikolaos Gyzis was one of her teachers. She was the companion of Polish artist Tadeusz Rychter. They did not marry, as the Catholic Church did not recognize divorce, and Tadeusz had already married the Krakow artist Bronislawa Janowska. According to Haaretz, social disapproval of their unmarried relationship was the reason why the couple left Europe and settled in Jerusalem. In 1939, Tadeusz went to Poland on a professional mission and died in Warsaw during the Second World War. May-Rychter continued to live in the Arabic-speaking neighborhoods of East Jerusalem until his death in 1955, at the age of 90. In 2014, the Palestinian Heritage Foundation and the Jerusalem Fund sponsored an eeexhibition of May-Rychter's watercolors.
