Joakim Marković

Joakim Marković (c. 1685-1757) was an Austrian Serb painter who worked in Old Slavonia.[1]

He painted the iconostasis of two bishopric churches in Pakrac and Severin County, and in St. Thomas Church in Dišnik (now Garesnica in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County).[2] Artistically and historically Marković's most interesting iconostasis is the memorial church built by a Serbian military border officer, Baron Mihailo Mikašinović in Plavšinac.[3]

In Plavšinac, Joakim Marković painted two compositions in 1750, one showing the privileges bestowed by Byzantine emperor Basil II on the Serbs and Croats - the privilege of establishing themselves in his dominion. That painting is now in Zagreb.[4] The second Marković's painting shows the Austrian monarch Rudolf II with Serbs.[5]These paintings are considered the first historical compositions in our recent art.

Marković painted primarily religious-themed icons and frescoes. He did frescoes for the Metropolitanate of Karlovci in the church monasteries throughout Fruška Gora.[6] He later returned to Buda where he continued to work until he died in 1757.
