Radoslav (painter)

Radoslav (Serbian: Радослав) was a miniaturist painter and manuscript illuminator[1] who lived in the first part of the 15th century Serbia.

[2] Today in Serbia he is referred to as Slikar (Painter) Radoslav.

[4] It is said that the merit of this fifteenth-century art in Serbia which was both lordly and monastic and which was the product of luxury and asceticism alike, reconciled the outer with the inner beauty.

[5] The two miniatures, one of St. Luke with a bull and the other of St. Mark with a lion are perhaps the finest examples of this complex, traditional culture, which found its most perfect expression in the art of painting.

It is now part of a collection in the National Library of Russia (since 1932 named after Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin).
