Famous people from Krakow: Helena Rubinstein
Helena Rubinstein, whose name and accomplishments are legendary, was a beauty authority, industrial pioneer, a friend and patron of many artists and philanthropist. The international cosmetics empire she created earned her a reputation as one of the world’s most successful businesswomen. But… do we know her life story?
She was born in Jewish district Kazimierz in Krakow, Poland in 1870. Her real name was Chaja. She was the eldest of eight children of Gusta and Hercel Rubinstein. Being the eldest child, Chaja had to take care about her sisters and brother, and to help father at work. Hercel had a small shop of paraffin oil at 13 Jozefa street in the Jewish district Kazimierz of Krakow, where Chaja worked as an accountant. As Chaja reached the age of 17, she was driven out home because she was in love with a non-jewish man, a student of medicine, and denied to marry a rich Jew. She went to her aunt Rozalia Silberfeld-Beckmann and stayed there for a year. Then, she immigrated from Krakow to Melbourne, Australia. There at the customs station she named herself Helena for the first time. She began her cosmetics business with a simple face cream, the recipe of which she had from her mother. In a very short time she created a successful business enterprise, which expanded from Melbourne to London in 1902, to Paris in 1906, and to New York in 1912. Powder compacts, to her powders designed Salvador Dali. Her Empire consisted of beauty salons, SPA and massage.
At a time when career opportunities for women were virtually nonexistent, Helena decided to do more than just shape new trends in beauty and cosmetology. She used to say: “My fortune comes from women and should benefit them and their children, to better their quality of life.” Following her own words, she started the Foundation in 1953 which made scholarship grants to encourage young women to undertake higher education and to pursue nontraditional careers. Working till her last day, Helena Rubinstein died in 1965 in New York at the age of 95.

“Lady with an Ermine” – Painting’s True Story
“Lady with an ermine” was painted In years 1483-90 by the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci In Milan. The portrait was made in oil, on arachnid tree board 54,7×40,3 cm., using egg tempera.
In 1800 the painting was bought by prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski as a gift for his mother Izabela Czartoryska. It has been shown in the Gothic House in Puławy. During the November Uprising it was taken to Paris. At the end of 19th Century, about 1880, was taken back to Cracow, to the newly created Czartoryski Museum. In 1939 it was stolen by the German occupants and placed as a decoration in the residence of Hans Frank, and then taken to Germany, from where it finally came to Krakow, Poland, in 1946.
The painting shows Cecilia Gallerani, the lover of prince Ludovic Sforza.
The animal held by the model, called the ermine, has a complicated emblematic meaning. Its Greek name galée refers to the model’s surname. The ermine is also a clear symbol of prince Ludovic Sforza, called by the people as “Ermellino” which means “Ermine”, in reference to prestige Medal of Ermine, and also an animal in his emblem.
During the making of the painting Cecilia was pregnant with prince Ludovic Sforza, but he was to marry Beatrice d’Este, so Leonardo da Vinci could not paint the picture of lovers in a passionate embrace. The ermine on the picture is the symbol of this situation. It is also an allegory of motherhood, because according to an ancient tradition, the ermine eases a childbirth. The artist placed the animal in such way that it covered the pregnancy of the model (she was expecting Ludovic’s son – Cesare), but at the same time it was symbolically telling the truth about Cecilia being blessed with a child.
