Jakšić (£àêøèž) Đura
(1832—1878)
Đura Jakšić / €óðà £àêøèž was a Serbian poet, painter, narrator, play writer, bohemian, and patriot. Jakšić was born in Srpska Crnja. His house is today Memorial Museum that still stands in his honour. He obtained his early education in Timişoara (now in Romania) and Segedin (now in Hungary). Đura Jakšić had studied fine arts in Vienna and Műnchen. Jakšić belongs to the most expressive representatives of Serbian romanticism. Passionate, of impetuous imagination, flamy emotions, rebellious and a freedom-lover, he has written, with romanticist pathos, songs about freedom, against tyranny, and verses of lyric confession full of deep pain. He has written some forty short stories, some of them designes as novels. He has written three dramas: Stanoje Glavaš, Seoba Srbalja, Jelisaveta, and novel Warriors. He was one of the most talented Serbian painters of the XIX century and most prominent representative of romanticism in Serbian painting. Although he is best known for his literature and paintings, Jakšić was also a teacher and professor. Schools and colleges throughout the country of Serbia and Montenegro and areas of the former Yugoslavia bear his name.
