Georgije Mitrofanović - One of the Greatest Serbian Painters of the Ottoman Period

Summary/Abstract: Georgije Mitrofanović was one of the greatest Serbian painters of the Ottoman period at the beginning of the 17th century. He painted in churches of Serbia, Montenegro, Herzegovina and Dalmatia. Among his most famous works are frescoes and icons in the great mess in Hilandar monastery from 1622. It is assumed that he died in the plague epidemic that devastated the Balkans and even caught the Mount Athos. The art of Georgije Mitrofanović returned the distressed aesthetic norms to Serbian painting, and his frescoes and icons, in their graceful and tender beauty, were much closer to dreams than the harsh reality he lived in.
