Novak Radonić (Serbian Cyrillic: Новак Радонић; Mol, 31 March 1826 – Sremska Kamenica, 11 July 1890) was a painter from the Austrian Empire and later Austria-Hungary.

Work

He was the pupil of Petar Pilić and Nikola Aleksić before he went to study art in Vienna. Upon graduation, he went to live and work in Bačka. He completed two iconostases in Sentomas (Srbobran) and Ada in 1863. He was much better as a painter of portraits and historical compositions, for example, the Death of Emperor Uroš and the Death of Prince Marko. In addition to religious themes and historical compositions, he also painted portraits in which he reached the highest peaks. His portrait of a boy Dušan Popović is one of the most beautiful and celebrated Serbian portraits from the nineteenth century.
