Đorđe Zografski

Georgi Zografski (also known as Đorđe Zografski; 1871– 1945) was an artist active in the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria, Serbia, Russia and Yugoslavia in the first half of the twentieth century.

He was born to a family of Mijak origin from Reka, whose ancestors moved to the village of Papradište.

Zografski largely painted icons and frescoes in the town of Niš and surrounding region.

He also collaborated with Dušan Miletić at the Church of St. Pantelemion in Niš.

The portrait was seriously damaged by bomb shrapnel during the bombardment of Niš during World War II (4 April 1944) and was in need of significant restoration work.
