Iacov Zugravul is a Baroque artist. 22 works are cataloged here, principally at Alba Iulia Orthodox Archdiocese.

Iacov Zugravul’s small surviving body of work shows biblical scenes painted on wood or drawn in ink, made in the mid-1700s. His brush handled scenes like “Botezul lui Iisus” and “Coborârea la iad,” while his pen captured figures such as “Sf. Nicolae” (1745) and “Iisus Hristos Învățător” (1739). The drawings’ fine hatching and the paintings’ luminous gold grounds suggest a workshop trained in the local church tradition. Swipe to compare his “Buna Vestire” with another 1700s biblical scene.
