It concludes that painters were treated like all other craftsmen in many aspects of social life from the time of the Book of Eparch (from the tenth century). Nevertheless, some artists were highly respected, and this prestige manifested itself in different ways: prominent painters were praised for their artistic skill or their wisdom and education, some were engaged as witnesses or guarantors in court cases due to their civic and personal credibility, some enjoyed a reputation that stemmed from their other profession – many of them were members of the clergy (priests, hieromonks, monks, hegoumenoi, chartophylaxes, metropolitans), some were elected state, city or military officials, and judges, and some were sent on diplomatic missions. Accordingly, many painters were addressed by the title kyr (Sir), which also testifies to their reputation and social status. Others, however, were forced to earn a living by trading, sometimes even by farming or herding. On the other hand, sources testify that occasionally figures of the highest social ranks (emperors, archbishops, metropolitans, nobles) also dabbled in painting, but they usually did so for fun, and are thus rightly seen in scholarship as amateur painters and cannot be used to illuminate the social status of painters. It seems, however, that the artist’s reputation, about which this paper provides original testimonies and a range of other indicators, generally did not bring a better or higher social status to the painters themselves, so until the end of the Middle Ages, much as in the tenth century, as evidenced by the Book of Eparch, they retained the status of artisans. To corroborate that claim, the paper brings original data on the social strata from which apprentices in painting workshops were recruited and the social circles from which came the spouses of painters or their family members.

of the katholikon of the Studenica monastery: the inscriptions
on two copper engravings depicting the main church
of the “Great Lavra of St. Simeon” made in Moscow in 1758.
Those inscriptions state, among other things, that Stefan Nemanja

Timisoara, lived between February 1851 and May 1885 at least
on five occasions in the USA (not counting stays in Hawaii, which are in
were an independent kingdom during Petrovits's lifetime). In this paper it is established that he first stayed in San Francisco (1851), the second time in
New York (1856/1857), the third time in New York (1867–1873), Denver (1873),
San Francisco (1873–1876, 1878), Los Angeles (1876/1877), Virginia

(1882/1883) and New Orleans (1883), and the fifth time in Los Angeles (1883/1884)
and San Francisco (1884/1885). It was also established that in the mentioned period he created more than sixty-five works, mostly portraits (six of them
they certainly still exist today). The aforementioned knowledge sheds a completely new light on the career that Paul Petrovits had in the USA.

краља Стефана Првовенчаног и првог путовања Саве Немањића, првог српског архиепископа, у Свету земљу. У њему се износи претпоставка да је Првовенчани умро 1223, а да је Сава предузео поменуто ходочашће 1228. године.После детаљне анализе сматрамо и даље да је највероватнији датум смрти Стефана Првовенчаног 24. септембар 1227, а да је сасвим извесно да је архипеископ Сава Немањић кренуо на своје прво ходочашће у Свету земљу средином или почетком друге половине маја 1229. године
