Gavril Atanasov

Gavril Atanasov (1863–1945) was a prominent Bulgarian icon painter in the 19th century from Berovo (Malesh region), in Ottoman Vardar Macedonia (present-day Republic of Macedonia). His father was from Kruševo but moved to Berovo where Gavril was born in 1863. Gavril went to the Bulgarian school in Berovo.[1] He painted around Berovo (Malesh region). Gavril Atanasov was the author of the icon of St. Demetrius in the church "Saint Demetrius" in Kyustendil, Bulgaria.[2]

One of the monasteries where his painting can be found is the St. Arhangel Mihail Monastery in Berovo.[3]
