Unknown and less known icons from Praskvica monastery: Works by painter Radul, Dimitrije Daskal and Maksim Tujkovic

This paper deals with the attribution of several icons from the treasury of the Praskvica monastery in Pastrovici. The earliest is the icon of Great Deesis, painted in 1680 by the painter Radul, for the iconostasis of the monastery Church of the Holy Trinity. The works by his apprentice, Dimitrije of Risan - the Great Deesis, the Deesis icon, and the icon of St. Demetrius with an unknown holy woman - we repainted in 1693 and in tended for the earlier monastery church dedicated to St. Nicholas. The same painter was the author of the icon of the Mother of God with Christ and the Royal Deesis, in Praskvica to day, which were painted for the iconostasis of the Church of St. Nicholas in Podostrog. The monastery of Praskvica also houses the icons painted by Maksim Tujkovic in 1714, the Hospitality of Abraham and the Crucifixion, preserved in fragments, which were initially positioned on the iconostasis in the Church of St. Nicholas.
