Simeon Lazović (Serbian Cyrillic: Симеон Лазовић; c. 1745 – 1817) was a Montenegrin Serb painter and one of the most famous icon painters of his time in the Balkans.
Born in Bijelo Polje in Montenegro, the priest Simeon Lazović and his son Aleksije are best known for having painted the icons of the altar screens (iconostases) and the walls of St. Dimitrius and St. Nicholas Serbian Orthodox chapels in Kosovo.
Among the works painted by Simeon Lazović are icons preserved in the wooden church of Kućani in 1780[1] and in the church of Sirogojno in 1764[2] in the Zlatibor Mountains.
[4] With his son Aleksije, he painted the iconostases of both Saint Demetrius and Saint Nicolas chapels at the Dečani monastery (Kosovo) and the iconostasis of the Savina monastery church near Herceg Novi in Boka Kotorska (Montenegro) in 1795.
Also, he is the author of the 1805 iconostasis and frescoes for the Church of St. Nicholas in Brezova,[5] and many more throughout Dalmatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.
