Anastas Bocarić

At the age of fourteen, he left his parents' home and went to study painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Athens.

[3] In 1883 he returned to his homeland for the sake of making portraits of Petrović dynasty, as well as prominent citizens of Budva and Kotor.

Bocarić intensified his work on religious compositions and painted portraits of distinguished personalities living then in Vojvodina.

At its core, Bocarić was a romantic, he found reality in the nature of the story, but in his paintings, he could find a foothold in contemporary solutions as well as in his Woman in White.

Its true beginning can be accurately determined by the fact that zoographic painting pressed these spaces until the end of the nineteenth century.
