Poleksija Todorović
Appearance
Poleksija Todorović (1848 – 1939) was a Serbian painter.
She was born in Belgrade, Serbia, as Poleksija Ban, the daughter of Margarita Ban and Matija Ban, Serbian writer and diplomat.[1] The beginnings of her painting are linked to the drawing school of Jovan Deroko, and later to her husband Stevan Todorović.[2]
She mostly painted icons and portraits, sometimes landscapes. She worked on the iconostastis in the Holy Trinity Church in Negotin in 1901.[3] There are 16 of her paintings in the collection of the National Museum.[4]
Alongside Katarina Ivanović and Mina Karadžić, she was one of the three Serbian women painters who worked in the 19th century.[5]
