Metropolitan Jovan Zograf (the Icon Painter) lived and worked in the 14th- and early 15th-century in Medieval Serbia of the time, now North Macedonia. We only know him by his baptismal name Pribila whose father was a builder by the name of Hajko who became a monk and took the name of Hariton in the monastery of Zrze, not too far from Prilip. Pribila like his brother Prijezda were tonsured as monks like their father in the same monastery. Pribila became known as Jovan and Prijezda as Makarije, better known as Makarije Zograf, and both became well-known icon painters during their lifetime.[1] Jovan as a monk eventually became a [[Metropolitan (religion) ]] within the Serbian Orthodox Church, though he continued to paint frescoes and icons throughout the Balkans. His most famous work is "Jesus Christ, Saviour and Life Giver", painted in 1383 at Zrze[2] [3]during the time when Marko Mrnjavčević (1371-1395)[4] ruled the region. Today the original painting is found in the Museum of Macedonia at Skopje.
