Abstract:

The icons of the painter Alexander Popgeorgiev in the “St. Demetrius” church in the village of Zimnitsa, Yambol region, dates from 1857–1858. The “St. George on horse” despotic icon of the iconostasis is restored in 2019. During the restoration the painting was freed from late picturesque layer. This is a reason to analyze the colorful, style and technical characteristics of church icons. Part of the creative work of the Yambol icon-painter, who holds a worthy place among the masters of Bulgarian Revival painting, is presented.
