Đura Jakšić - Ђура Јакшић

Đura Jakšić

Prince Lazar
1857-59

Đura Jakšić is a symbol of Serbian Romantic literature and painting.The question of whether he was failed natural artistic talent or whether he remained an incomplete great poet does not abate.He was, in fact, a strong creative figure who was contiunally interweaving the beuaty of words and brush strokes, an undividable creator who as an author used words to colourfully describe people and events, while as a painter vividly and convincingly told a story of the contents of his pictures.

From:
Three Century of Serbian Painting, Miodrag Jovanovic
