Vasa Ostojić


Vasa Ostojić or Vasilije Ostojić was a Serbian Baroque painter of icons and frescoes. He also worked on churches in Sremski Karlovci with monk-painter Amvrosije Janković. He was once Dimitrije Bačević's pupil and assistant.
His best-known works are the Serbian Orthodox Church of the Assumption in Novi Sad, St. Nicholas in Irig and Neradin, then the iconostasis in the Orthodox church in Voganj and the iconostasis in the monastery church of Rakovac, the iconostasis of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Buda, and arguably the most important one, the iconostasis in the Annunciation Church in Szentendre.
Ostojić was under the influences of Russian and Ukrainian Baroque masters.
Later in life, he was ennobled for his artistic achievements.
