Jaro Procházka

Jaro Procházka (April 22, 1886, Prague - September 30, 1949, Prague) was a Czech painter specializing in cities and landscapes.

He studied at the Prague Academy of Arts, with Prof. Jakesch (1900-1904), and then at the Academy of Fine Arts, where his studies were interrupted by the First World War. He was a member of the Union of Artists in Prague.

His work was influenced by the impressionist movement. During his lifetime he made study trips to Paris, Belgium, and Holland. Paintings of Bruges and the Belgian countryside can be considered the pinnacle of his work. A set of paintings of European cities in 1931 was awarded the annual prize of the Academy of Sciences.

He exhibited his works in many solo and joint exhibitions in the Czech Republic and abroad, such as Paris, Oslo and Copenhagen.
