(Kamna Gorica near Kropa, 1792 - Ljubljana, 1855)
Matevž Langus, a Slovenian painter and fresco painter, studied in Klagenfurt in a workshop by Johann Schreibers. In 1817 he returned to Ljubljana. He was then admitted to the Vienna Academy, but due to financial problems he completed only two years of study. In 1821 he settled in Ljubljana again as a professional painter. He later lived in Rome, where he was enrolled at the French Academy of Rome. His artistic work is distinguished by his Biedermeier style, although many still rank him among the last Baroque painters in Slovenia. He is best known for his portraits of Ljubljana's citizens and frescoes (summarized from Wikipedia).
