(1859–1929) was a student of Hugo Illik, a landscape painter who worked in a Romantic idiom. After completing his studies in Prague and working as a painter at the Vienna State Opera, he also studied under Jan Václav Kautský. He then continued studying in Munich and Dresden, before working as a scenographer and painter at the National Theatre in Brno and the city’s Janáček Theatre. He then moved to Prague, where he worked at the Pištěk Theatre. Although he specialized in theatrical art, he also produced his own canvases. An example is Spring Landscape near Blansko, Moravia, which won acclaim when he displayed it at the Prague Jubilee Exhibition in 1891. Jaroš’s work frequently appears at auctions, where it attracts substantial interest from collectors.
