Nikola Obrazopisov (1829–1915) was the son of Ioan Iconopisets. He was born in 1829 in the village of Prodanovtsi, Samokov region, and died on 17 January 1915. He left a wealth of artistic heritage, which, in addition to icons, includes murals, secular portraits, paintings of folklore costumes, landscapes and genre compositions. A bright and patriotic Bulgarian, he was engaged in the enlightenment during the Bulgarian National Revival and took an active part, ardently involved in the struggle for national and ecclesiastical independence.
