Andrey Damyanov (Bulgarian: Андрей Дамянов; Macedonian: Андреја Дамјанов);Serbian: Андреј Дамјанов) (Papradište, 1813–Veles, 1878) was a Macedonian Bulgarian [1][2] architect, considered one of the most eminent Balkan master-builders. His works include more than 40 buildings, most of them churches.
Work and legacy
Damyanov and his team (tayfa) travelled and worked throughout the Balkans and hence his works are to be found not only in region of Macedonia, but in present-day Serbia and Bosnia as well. His oeuvre includes more than 40 buildings, most of them churches, notably the church of St. Panteleimon in Veles (1840), the monastery church of St. Joachim of Osogovo, near Kriva Palanka (1845), The Holy Mother of God in the village of Novo Selo near Štip (1850) and St. Nicholas in Kumanovo (1851) as well as his churches in Niš, Nova Crkva, Mostar, and Sarajevo (Saborna Crkva).
Origin
Andrey Damyanov comes from a family of builders and painters (the Damyanovi-Renzovski) originating in Western Macedonia; a region which - with centres like Kastoria, Kozani, Debar, or Korçë - had given birth to many notable artists in the later decades of Ottoman rule over the Balkans. Next to Nikola Fichev, he is probably the best-known master builder/architect working in the Balkans at that period. He was the grandfather of Bulgarian architect and war-time officer Simeon Zografov.
