(Ljubljana, 1872 - Ljubljana, 1947)
Jama attended primary school and grammar school in Ljubljana, then went to school in Zagreb and Munich. After two years, he returned to Ljubljana, where he made a living by drawing - he drew illustrations for the Slovene magazine. Jama lived and worked in various places in Europe, Austria, Croatia, Germany and the Netherlands, and later returned to Slovenia. In addition to drafts for posters and illustrations, Jama also painted with oil. His more important role model was Claude Monet. In his mature period, he was primarily a landscape painter, which can also be seen in his paintings and illustrations, where landscapes and vedutas predominate. In the later period, Jama also collaborated with Rihard Jakopič. Matija Jama began at that time with the study of light and was already fully expressing itself as an impressionist. In this early period of Slovene Impressionism, he created mainly watercolors, which he abandoned around 1900 and devoted himself to oil painting on canvas. He then created most of his most famous works in this technique for the rest of his life (summarized from Wikipedia).
