Georgije Kraljevacki
Georgije "Đoka" Kraljevački (1840–1906) is one of the first Serbian and early European photographers. He was a painter by education.[1]
Biography
He was born in Novi Sad[2] around 1840. in the then Kingdom of Hungary (1526–1867). He devoted himself to photography.[3] He acquired his photographic knowledge in the second half of the 19th century in Stuttgart (in Germany). He was engaged in photography in Novi Sad and Belgrade "across from Zeleni venc". to him.[4][5]
He mostly painted portraits of contemporaries from the middle and upper middle classes, warriors of the Serbian wars and public figures. He was among the first in Serbia to take portraits of wedding couples in business card format.[6][7]
Photos from the studio of Đoka Kraljevački, with motifs of women in folk costumes, were used by the famous interwar Oenology Petar Živković to illustrate some of his works.[1] As photography became cheaper and ceased to be the privilege of only a small number of wealthy people, it became an everyday occurrence for an increasing number of people, enabling them to remember their own past.
He died in Palilula City Municipality in 1906 in Belgrade, where he was buried at the Belgrade New Cemetery.[8]
