Janis Rozentāls (Saldus Parish, March 18, 1866 - Helsinki, December 26, 1916) was a Latvian painter. The scope of Rozentāls' activities was very wide, but painting was of paramount importance. He revealed the beauty of nature, demonstrated the integrity of man and nature. In Rozentāls' works the linear coexisted with the picturesque, flatness, with a soft transition of tones, small touches of paint, with vast surfaces of colour.
