  4. Vlaho Bukovac Bukovac was born in Cavtat, a small fishing on the Adriatic coast, in what is now Croatia. As a teenager he travelled the world as a seaman, but when his artistic talent was spotted, he was sponsored to go to Paris in 1877, to study under the celebrated painter Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889). In France, Bukovac quickly found success, exhibiting at the Salon after only a year. He remained in that city until 1893, during which time he absorbed elements from a variety of trends in European art into his own style. On his return to Zagreb in 1893 Bukovac became the leader of a group of young artists who soon won an international reputation as the Zagreb ‘colourful school’, with a brighter palette and freer technique than their predecessors. Known both for his perceptive portraits and his grandiose history paintings, Bukovac was also subtly innovative, blending the kind of acutely-observed realism popular in the late nineteenth century with expressive techniques picked up from the French Impressionists and their followers.
