In 1894 he moved to Belgrade, where he finally settled in 1898, employed at the Second Belgrade Gymnasium.〔 In the year 1900, Marko Murat was a representative of Serbia at the 1900 World's Fair in Paris, where he won the bronze card for his artwork - ''The Arrival of Tzar Dushan of Serbia to Dubrovnik''.〔 In 1905 he was one of the founders of the Art&Craft school, the predecessors to the Academy of Fine Arts, Belgrade.〔 Between 1904 and 1906, he was also a drawing teacher of Royal Prince Aleksandar Karađorđević of Serbia.〔 His works were also exhibited at the 1911 World's Fair in Rome.〔 Murat was a proponent of Yugoslavism who wrote in his autobiography about Serb and Croat tribes of the Yugoslav nation.〔 At the outbreak of World War I, he was in Dubrovnik, where Austrian authorities arrested him and held him in Hungary until May 1916.〔 After the war, Marko Murat had a major role as an art conservator in Dubrovnik, from 1919 to 1932.〔 In 1920 he became an honorary member of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and from 1940 he was a regular member.〔(Biography at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts site ) 〕 Marko Murat was one of the first impressionists in the South Slavic region. Landscapes, portraits and historical compositions were his trademark. His works were displayed at almost every relevant exhibition in Yugoslavia and abroad, in Sofia, Munich, Paris, Rome, Vienna and London. He died in Dubrovnik. The manuscript of his unfinished autobiography was lost after his death and found only recently; it presents a rare description of everyday life in Dubrovnik in the 1860s and 1870s. It was published in 2007 in the Croatian literary magazine ''Kolo''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marko Murat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
