Within the selection of the author of the exhibition, Branka Ivanić, museum advisor of the National Museum of Serbia, 147 icons were included in the exhibition. These are icons from the territories of traditional Greek countries, as well as from a wider area within the Ottoman Empire and neighboring countries where the influences of Greek culture remained recognizable.
The book by the author Aleksandar Pavlić is a kind of drawing manual with the focus on the process of drawing the human head, and the image of saints. Although it was written for beginners, the manual goes beyond this purpose, as a kind of comprehensive work in the field of iconographic drawing.
Art historians Jovana Durman and Jelena Marković will guide you through the exhibition about Greek icon painters during the long period of Ottoman rule in the Orthodox area of the Balkans, the Adriatic and the Mediterranean every Wednesday and Friday from 1 p.m.
