In the jubilee year marking the bicentenary of Matica Srpska, the Gallery of Matica Srpska, in cooperation with the Serbian Ecclesiastical Museum in Szentendre, has prepared two exhibitions. The exhibition Mat(r)ix: Celebrating Two Centuries<\/em> by Dr Danilo Vuksanovi\u0107 was ceremonially opened in Szentendre in May, while during its run, the Gallery of Matica Srpska will present the exhibition Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107 in Szentendre<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 2023, through a donation, the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Buda acquired an exceptionally valuable work of art that is uniquely connected to Szentendre and its history. It is a painting by one of the most prominent Serbian artists, Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107<\/strong> (1857\u20131953), depicting Saint George<\/strong>. The painting was created in 1902<\/strong> and was presented by Predi\u0107 to the Szentendre merchant Stevan Vuji\u0107 and his wife Olga on the occasion of their marriage and family patron saint\u2019s day. Olga Bari\u0107, n\u00e9e in Pan\u010devo, was related to Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107.<\/p>\n

In the autumn of 2024, a special thematic exhibition was held in Szentendre, featuring Predi\u0107\u2019s painting alongside family documents and photographs related to Stevan Vuji\u0107 and Olga Bari\u0107. For more than a century, the painting had been preserved in Szentendre as a treasured possession of the Vuji\u0107 family. Until recently, its existence was unknown to the scholarly public. Thanks to the efforts of the Museum in Szentendre and its collaboration with the Gallery of Matica Srpska, this work will now be exhibited in Serbia for the first time<\/strong> and made accessible to a wider audience.<\/p>\n

Every newly discovered work by Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107 provides the basis for a new story which, supported by rich archival documentation and historical sources, contributes to our understanding of Serbian civic life at the end of the nineteenth and during the first half of the twentieth century. This exhibition tells the story of a family and their icon, as well as the paths that both the painting and the family followed together through time and space. It also bears witness to the descendants\u2019 strong awareness of the importance of preserving family heritage, demonstrated by their decision to donate the icon\u2014an artwork that is also part of the national cultural heritage\u2014to the Serbian Ecclesiastical Museum in Szentendre, which safeguards and preserves Serbian art and culture in present-day Hungary.<\/p>\n

Stevan Vuji\u0107 owned a shop on Szentendre\u2019s main square and later operated several stores in Budapest. For a period, he also served as president of the Serbian Orthodox Church Municipality in Szentendre. The painting by Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107 was donated to the Serbian Ecclesiastical Museum in Szentendre by Stevan Vuji\u0107\u2019s granddaughter, Rita, with the wish that it be preserved for future generations and continue to bear witness to the Serbian community and the Vuji\u0107 family in Szentendre.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is curated by Dr Kosta Vukovi\u0107, Director of the Serbian Ecclesiastical Museum in Szentendre, and Dr Sne\u017eana Mi\u0161i\u0107, Senior Curator at the Gallery of Matica Srpska.<\/p>\n

The painting depicting Saint George, together with documentary photographs and archival material, will be on display in the Room for Indulging in Art<\/strong> at the Gallery of Matica Srpska until 30 August 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
