Anton Ažbe

Due to his poor health, they initially wanted to educate him as a merchant, but he chose to become an artist. Ažbe first studied in the Ljubljana workshop of the painter and fresco painter Janez Wolf. After studying at the academy, his painting progress was remarkable, and he also opened his own drawing and painting school, where painting students were able to freely transfer their ideas onto the canvas. That Ažbe's school was really of high quality is proved by the fact that it was also supported by official academies, both the Munich and Saint Petersburg one, which recognized its exceptional pedagogical quality.
