The Romanticist Dimitar Dobrovich (1816—1905)
Language: English—Bulgarian (bilingual)

     Dimitar Dobrovich, both by birth and the timing of his academic art education, ranks first in the history of Bulgarian art, after our Revival painters, in the line of those laying the foundations of the new secular painting. A scion of a people little known in Europe in the nineteenth century, he walked his path abroad — in Tsarigrad, Athens and Rome — devotedly following his vocation. Those artworks of his that are kept in Bulgaria, and others that have remained outside the country and are not known to us, are part of the European art of the epoch.
