Ivana Kobilca (2008)

Ivana Kobilac (1861-1926) was the first academic-educated Slovenian painter. She is one of the classics of Slovene realism, who with her greatness paved the way to modern Slovenian painting. Already with her first exhibition in Ljubljana, in 1889, it attracted great attention. Her success was all the more surprising, since she was established in the field that had previously belonged to men.
