Metropolitan Jovan Zograf (the Icon Painter) lived and worked in the 14th and early 15th centuries in what was then Medieval Serbia, now North Macedonia.
[1] Monk Jovan was elevated to the rank of Metropolitan in the Serbian Orthodox Church, yet he continued to paint frescoes and icons.
His most famous work, "Jesus Christ, Saviour and Life Giver," was painted in 1383 at Zrze, during the rule of Marko Mrnjavčević (1371-1395).
Today, the original painting is housed in the Museum of the Republic of North Macedonia in Skopje.
Metropolitan Jovan Zograf lived during the time of Lazar of Serbia and Stefan Lazarević.
