Paintings by Vlaho Bukovac

Realist painter Vlaho Bukovac, one of the four children to a mother from Dubrovnik and a father of Italian origin (Vlaho's grandfather Giuseppe Faggioni emigrated from Genoa), was born in Cavtat on July 4, 1855.

Vlaho Bukovac had painted about 400 portraits and 150+ other paintings. He passed away in Prague on April 23, 1922. 
Generally, Vlaho's work is divided into four periods:

Paris (1877 - 1893)
Vlaho was increasingly turning away from the academism of Cabanel and toward the impressionism. He considered himself a representative of the French modernism. 

Zagreb (1893 - 1898)
Vlaho's most active period. He founded the Multicolored school and the Society of Croatian Artists, coinitiated the construction of the Art Pavillion and laid the groundwork for Croatian modernists.

Cavtat (1898 - 1902)
After the conflict with Isidor Krsnjavi (Minister of Culture and Education), Vlaho returned to his native Cavtat.He added a floor on the west side of his house and turned it into an atelier. Here he experimented with the new means of expression and new color solutions.

Prague (1903 - 1922)
Vlaho was a professor at the Academy of Prague. Czech historians of art credit him with being an outstanding pedagogue and for bringing the technique of pointillism to the Academy.
