Born in 1872 in Hořovice, Jaroslav Panuška was the son of a land surveyor.[1] He studied art in Prague under Julius Mařák, becoming one of the leading representatives of his school.[2] During the 1890's he was particularly prominent among Prague artists,[3] and is mostly known for his disturbing treatment of themes related to death, loneliness and the supernatural.[4]
Panuška's paintings are part of private collections and public museums such as the National Gallery Prague.[3] His works have been included in the annual inter-disciplinary exhibition on 19th century issues, at the West Bohemian Gallery in Pilsen. In 2014 the theme was On the Edge of the Crowd: Art and the Social Question in the 19th Century, and in 2016 Elements Inside Us: Catastrophe and Its Reflection in the 19th Century Culture.[5][6]
The Czech black metal band Master's Hammer released a song about the artist titled "Panuška", in their 2014 studio album Vagus Vetus.[7]
