Pavel Djurković - Christ Being Removed from the Cross

Pavel Đurković (Serbian Cyrillic: Павел Ђурковић, Hungarian: Pavel Gyurkovits) was an 18th-century Serbian painter and muralist. He was born in Baja, Austria-Hungary in 1772. He was an advocate of rationalism and Josephinism, author of numerous iconostases and portraits (the most famed perhaps being that of turbaned prince Miloš), painter of the iconostasis for the Church of St John in 1809, and the portraitist of the works Justinijan Jovanović (1820), Avram Konjović (1822) and young Vuk Karadžić (1816).

He died in Odessa, Ukraine, then part of Imperial Russia, in 1830.
