Live and act
He and his brother Jurij Šubic (1855–1890), who also worked as a painter, were sons of the carver and painter Štefan Šubic (1820–1884), who furnished numerous churches in his home region with paintings and altars.
Janez Šubic learned painting from his father in 1864. He continued his education from 1869–71 in St. Veit (now Ljubljana- Šentvid) with the Nazarene Janez Wolf (1825–1884), with whom he went to the World Exhibition in Vienna in 1873 , where they met Anselm Feuerbach .
From 1871–74, Šubic studied in Venice , at the Accademia di belle arti di Venezia with the painter Pompeo Marino Molmenti (1819–1894) and the sculptor Antonio Dal Zotto . In the winter of 1874/75 Šubic traveled with Vojtěch Hynais , a student of Feuerbach, to Ferrara , Bologna and Florence ; 1875–76 he stayed in Rome , where several landscape studies were made. In 1876 he created the main altarpiece "Healing of a Sick by St. Martin" for the church in Šmartno pod Šmarno goro (St. Martin under the Kahlenberg), Slovenia. He now mainly produced religious pictures, landscapes, vedutas, history paintings and genre representations.
1878-80 Janez Šubic stayed several times in Vienna and worked with Hans Makart . In 1880 he created realistic portraits of his family (e.g. his parents and sister Mica). 1881–83 in Prague, where he made the fresco decorations for the National Theater based on designs by Mikoláš Aleš and František Ženíšek (1848–1916) .
In 1884, Šubic became a specialist teacher at the Kaiserslautern district building trade school , which at that time was located in the building of today's Palatinate Gallery , which he also painted with (royal hall, corridors, loggias). In 1885 he painted the large ceiling painting “Carniola with Science and Art” for the auditorium of the State Museum in Ljubljana (today the Slovenian National Museum in Ljubljana), and also provided illustrations for the volume “Coastal Land” (Volume 10) of the book series “ The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in Word and image ”.
He died in Kaiserslautern in 1889; the grave (obelisk) is preserved in the main cemetery there.
In addition to his paintings and frescoes, around 1,000 drawings and watercolors by him have survived; many of them in the Slovenian National Gallery in Ljubljana. Together with his brother Jurij, Janez Šubic is one of the most important church painters in Slovenia.
