Vlaho Bukovac (Cavtat, July 5, 1855 - Prague, April 23, 1922) was a Croatian painter. Besides being an artist who followed the established canons dictated by the Salon and the general public, he followed his own inner impulses of artistic creation. He knew the spirit of academism and, on the other hand, he felt the spirit of Impressionistic freedom. Having accepted modern principles, Bukovac painted casual pictures, using liberated strokes of the brush, in the pointillist technique.
