František Kaván (1866 - 1941) CHERRY TREE NEAR RVÁČOV

From the expert opinion of PhDr. M.Sc. Michael Zachař: "Academic painter František Kaván belongs to the leading representatives of the "Mařák family", i.e. students of the landscape school of professor Julius Mařák at the Prague Academy at the end of the 19th century. I classify the painting under review among similar ones already published from around 1925. It is a sensitive plein-air painting with a distinct with exposed vegetation, which is a motif accompanying Kaván from his youth.The painting, preserved in good technical condition, represents a quality example of Kaván's mature landscape work of the 1920s.
