Miodrag Petrović
Miodrag Petrović (Dubravica, near Požarevac, Kingdom of Serbia, 12 September 1888 - Belgrade, Yugoslavia, 10 February 1950) was one of the official war artists of the Serbian army during World War I. Miodrag Petrović graduated from the First Belgrade Gymnasium, where he learned to draw and paint from Đorđe Krstić in 1906, and then at the Rista Vukanović School he was taught by painter Marko Murat, sculptor Đorđe Jovanović, and graphic designer Dragutin Inkiostri Medenjak. After voluntarily enlisting in the Serbian army, he was granted the status of an official military artist. He took part in the battles around Belgrade in 1914, and was part of the Serbian army's Great Retreat through the Prokletije mountains of Serbia, Montenegro, and Albania to the Greek island of Corfu during the winter of 1915.
