Biography
Biography
• Illustration — Panuška's house in Kochánov Born in 1872 in Hořovice, Jaroslav Panuška was the son of a land surveyor. He studied art in Prague under Julius Mařák, becoming one of the leading representatives of his school. During the 1890s he was particularly prominent among Prague artists, and is mostly known for his disturbing treatment of themes related to death, loneliness and the supernatural. From 1923 until his death in 1958, he lived in Kochánov (part of Světlá nad Sázavou). The so-called Panuška's Oak in Kochánov belonged among frequent subjects of his paintings. Panuška is buried in Světlá nad Sázavou.
