Biography

Popović was born in Opovo in Banat in 1810.[7] From 1839 he lived in Belgrade. He was first taught painting by Konstantin Danil and later he pursued his academic studies in Vienna at the famed Academy of Fine Arts. His professors there were Joseph von Führich and Leopold Kupelwieser.[6]

In 1845 he returned to Belgrade, but once there, unable to get commissions because they were being given to his professional rival Dimitrije Avramović, he decided to return to Opovo in Banat in late 1845 and marry his high school sweetheart. His best man was Jovan Sterija Popović.[8]

He is credited to have painted the icons in the iconostasis of the St. Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church in Dolovo, from 1853 to 1855. In the spirit of Biedermeier, Popović painted portraits of people, women, and children, members of the civilian population like his contemporary colleague Katarina Ivanović.[8]

Legacy

There is a school named after Popović in Novi Sad.[9]

gollark: It's probably harder to break without the image looking noticeably different, though, since it just works by downscaling and grayscaling things or something.
