"Prevoznik" (The Ferryman) is a notable painting by Vlaho Bukovac, a distinguished Croatian painter associated with the transition from academicism to modern art movements at the turn of the 20th century. Created in 1888, this work is a testament to Bukovac's skill in capturing human figures and his exploration of mythological and allegorical themes, which were prevalent in his oeuvre.

The painting depicts Charon, the mythological ferryman from Greek and Roman mythology, who is responsible for transporting souls across the River Styx to the underworld. In "Prevoznik," Bukovac presents a dark and atmospheric scene, with Charon as a central, shadowy figure guiding the boat through the misty waters. The composition is imbued with a sense of mystery and the supernatural, reflecting the artist's fascination with the themes of death and the afterlife.

Bukovac's technique in "Prevoznik" showcases his academic training, with a keen attention to detail and a masterful use of chiaroscuro to create depth and volume. The painting's mood is enhanced by the artist's choice of a limited color palette, dominated by dark hues and subtle gradations of light, which contribute to the overall somber and contemplative atmosphere.

"Prevoznik" is considered one of Bukovac's significant works, exemplifying his contribution to the symbolism movement and his impact on Croatian art. The painting is often discussed in the context of Bukovac's broader artistic legacy, as it encapsulates the stylistic and thematic elements that define his mature period. It remains an important piece in the study of late 19th-century European art, particularly within the regions influenced by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, where Bukovac spent much of his career.

The painting is held in a prominent collection or museum, where it continues to be accessible to the public and scholars, serving as a valuable cultural artifact that offers insight into the historical and artistic context of its creation. Through "Prevoznik," Vlaho Bukovac's reputation as a pivotal figure in the development of Croatian national art is further cemented, and his work continues to inspire and intrigue audiences with its timeless themes and technical prowess.
