The painter Sava Krabulević is known only as the author of the iconostasis in the Monastery of Orahovica in eastern Slavonia. This work, which he produced in 1697, attracted the attention of Serbian art historians because some of the icons show Western influences. The article describes how Krabulević found himself in Moscow (1688-1694) by dint of circumstance and adopted some of the West European painting techniques through Russian icon painters
