Żmurko began drawing lessons as a young boy in his hometown with the painter Franciszek Tepa. As an adolescent he relocated to Krakow to study at the Academy of Fine Arts where he took lessons from Professor January Matejko. In 1877 Żmurko moved to Vienna, Austria where he was accepted at the Vienna Academy, but left soon thereafter to study under Alexander von Wagner in Munich.
Żmurko returned to Krakow in 1880 and then moved to Warsaw in 1882 where he remained until his death in 1910.
