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, (Bukovac’s biography begins to resemble something out of a Charles Dickens novel) 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. Bukovac became a leading light in the Zagreb art scene, agitating for the construction of a national Art Pavilion (which still survives) and painting interiors for both the University Library and the National Theatre. The offer of a teaching post in Prague provided him with an escape route from the backstabbing world of Croatia’s cultural elite. Solidly appreciated by the Czechs, Bukovac remained in Prague until his death in 1922
