May 14–September, 2021, Kumu Art Museum Janis Rozentāls (1866–1916) is probably the most beloved and versatile artist in Latvian art history, as well as one of the founders of Latvian national art. In his homeland, he is considered to be the most influential cultural figure of his time and a symbol of Latvian culture. As an enthusiastic experimenter, he introduced fresh art trends from Western Europe to the art landscape of Riga and the Baltics more generally. These included Impressionism, Art Nouveau and Symbolism, which he advanced in his work, as well as in his critiques and writings on art theory.
