Bohuslav Dvořák (born December 30, 1867 in Prague , † February 16, 1951 in Levínská Olešnice ) was a Czech painter .
Life
From 1889 to 1897 he studied with Julius Mařák in the landscape class at the Art Academy in Prague. He was greatly inspired by his fellow students in the plein air excursions that his teacher regularly organized, especially by Antonín Slavíček and František Kaván , with whom he felt very connected.
Probably his most important achievement at the turn of the 20th century was working on the design of the National Museum in Prague - a public commission that Julius Mařák had received in 1895 and which he could no longer carry out alone due to his serious illness. Together with Mařák's daughter Josefina (Pepa) Mařáková, Dvořák helped paint the murals depicting Czech history, which are shown there in the stairwell. He is one of the remarkable, but not one of the pioneering students of Mařák.
He was loyal to realism and is known for his portrayals of mushrooms.
