Biography
He was born in Novi Marof (Varazdin, Croatia). After graduating from the Teacher's Academy in Zagreb, he went to the private art school of H. Strehblow in Vienna, then studied at the Academy in Prague under Vlaho Bukovac and in Vienna under W. Unger. He lived in Munich from 1907 to 1914, then in Rome, Geneva, Zagreb, and finally in Split.
His most productive period was when he lived outside Croatia, but he was in permanent contact with Croatian artists (Izidor Kršnjavi and Ivan Meštrović), and during those times he worked in the spirit of secession (the name for Art Nouveau in Vienna).
Rački's most important collection of work is connected to Dante's The Divine Comedy and he was occupied with these motifs until the end of his life.
