Dimitrije "Mita" Avramovic (15 March 1815 – 1 March 1855) was a Serbian writer, iconographer, caricaturist and painter in the Neoclassical style, considered to be the preeminent painter of the era and best known for his iconostasis and frescos.
Avramovic also translated from German into Serbian Johann Joachim Winckelmann's Geschichte der Kunst des Alterthums ("The History of Art in Antiquity") and other writings.
