Hi Michal,
as you mention crosscompilation: DJGPP is a DOS version of GNU C, but of course the big question is which programming languages you speak and how much effort you want to put in the graphics. From a low level perspective, switching to 320x200 MCGA mode (256 color, default or custom palette) would be an easy option to display the photos as you can access the screen as 320x200 byte array at some easy-to-reach fixed memory address with basically all compilers, including all classic 16-bit ones :-) Of course you could also go for various graphics or GUI libraries for which DOS ports exist, but that feels really bloated given the description of your plan.
