Abstract
Viktor Car Emin’s early childhood and his later visits to Kraj have been characterised by meetings with academic painter Valentin Lucas (1840–1915), who lived there. The distinctive artist and his life inspired Car in creating several characters in his literary work. Additionally, Car dedicated a few lines in his autobiography to him. Starting from Car’s fiction and his autobiographical notes and their verification in the available historical and other sources, as well as from the results of field research, this paper tries to reconstruct unknown details in the biography of the painter from Kraj.
