Mirko Rački

Rački was born in Novi Marof, and graduated from the Teacher's Academy in Zagreb.

He lived in Munich from 1907 to 1914, then in Rome, Geneva, Zagreb, and finally in Split.

His most productive period was when he lived outside Croatia, but he was in permanent contact with Croatian artists (Izidor Kršnjavi and Ivan Meštrović), and during those times he worked in the spirit of the Vienna Secession.

Rački's most important collection of work is connected to Dante's The Divine Comedy and he was occupied with these motifs until the end of his life.

Some his works were published in the collector's edition of The Divine Comedy from 1934 in Bergamo.
