Dositej Obradović

Ivan Meštrović (1883-1962) is the most prominent sculptor of the former Yugoslav area and one of the active participants in the creation of a joint state union of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians founded in 1918. He was a member of the Serbian Royal Academy and the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts with honorary doctorates from three American universities. His sculptural opus includes an extremely large number of works, from monumental sculptures and architectural units to works of chamber format. He made a bronze medal with the figure of Dositej Obradović in 1911 on the occasion of marking the Serbian writer and educator’s death centenary. The central place on the medal is occupied by the profile of Dositej Obradović framed by the Cyrillic text: "Dositej Obradović, Serbo-Croatian educator”.
