(Ljubljana, 1861 - Ljubljana, 1926)
Ivana Kobilca is the most important Slovenian painter. She studied drawing in Ljubljana by Ida Künl, and later in Vienna at the gallery of the Vienna Academy, where she copied paintings by old masters. She perfected her knowledge in Munich, where she entered an art school. Then, at the academy, she was a student of Alois Erdeltap, drawing nudes on naked, even male models, which was a rarity. She later lived in Paris, where she spent a short time studying at the private school of Henri Gervex, then in Florence, Sarajevo, Berlin and finally in Ljubljana. Kobilca was a distinctly bourgeois artist. She belonged to the generation of Slovene realists who created the most important works in the 1980s. The painter's most valuable contribution to Slovenian art was made when she lived abroad and only visited her homeland. The focus of her painting was in figural painting, especially in portraiture and genre depictions from peasant and bourgeois life. She later devoted herself to painting floral still lifes, as portraits were no longer in demand. The early works reflect the characteristics of Munich painting - they are painted in dark, brown shades, only the pastels are light and pink. The Parisian period is characterized by bluish shades, especially in shading, and a more independent solution to light problems (summarized from Wikipedia).-
