SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Mirko Rački (1879–1982), a Croatian painter and printmaker, trained in Vienna and Prague, notably under Vlaho Bukovac. A member of the Medulić group, he developed a Symbolist language informed by the Viennese and Munich Secessions. His patron Izidor Kršnjavi commissioned drawings inspired by Dante, whose world became a lasting focus of his work.
The City of Dis (1906), an oil on canvas at Zagreb’s National Museum of Modern Art, places Dante and Virgil in a boat, within a horizontal composition of dark colours and misty atmosphere. Construction of a Bridge near Visoko, at the National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina, combines oil and pastel on canvas. The Sea Nymph (1918), in Zagreb, places a kneeling female figure in shallow seawater.
This profile brings together identity references for Mirko Rački and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
