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. He worked actively throughout his life. His works are found in most of the villages around Samokov, Rila Monastery, Dupnitsa, Pernik and Radomir, in Sofia district and Panagyurishte, but also in North Macedonia and Serbia.inv. NG 593
