Dimitrije Posniković (Serbian Cyrillic: Димитрије Посниковић; 1814–1891) was a Serbian iconographer and painter from the 19th century. A student of Dimitrije Avramović, with whom he sometimes collaborated on commissions, Posniković mainly painted icons and frescoes for churches in Serbia.[1]
Biography
[edit]Dimitrije Posniković was born in 1814 in Vojvodina, at the time part of the Austrian Empire.[2] At an early age he moved to Belgrade, Principality of Serbia, where he spent most of his artistic career;.[3] There is no record of when and where he was educated. Therefore, his education has not yet been precisely determined. It is known that Posniković was not academically-trained and that he studied painting with Živko Petrović. After moving to Serbia, he collaborated with Dimitrije Avramović, of whom he was considered a disciple,[4] on the creation of wall paintings in the Cathedral Church in Belgrade, which was of great importance for upgrading his visual opus and repeatedly gaining commissions from the Patriarchate in Belgrade. Independently and in collaboration with other acknowledged and leading painters of the 19th-century he painted numerous churches throughout the Principality of Serbia.[5]
Posniković frequently visited the Atelier of Dimitrije Avramović with whom he shared much in common. Milivoje Milija Marković[6] became his assistant on numerous painting assignments commissioned by the Serbian Orthodox Church.
