Jan Slavíček (22 January 1900 – 5 April 1970)[1] was a Czech painter, son of painter Antonín Slavíček (1870–1910), brother of director and editor Jiří Slavíček and the successor of the Slavíček family.

[2][3] He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Prague under Jan Preisler, Vratislav Nehleba, Max Švabinský and Otakar Nejedlý (1916–1925).

He was a member of SVU Mánes starting in 1922 and has undertaken a number of study trips to France (including Corsica), Italy, Spain, England, Greece, the USSR and Yugoslavia.

From 1937 to 1970 he lived in the rear wing of the Hrzánský Palace in Hradčany, painting the views of Prague from his studio window.

He dealt with the impulses of French fauvism in his early years, but soon found his own painting expression, based on sensual realism.
