Before leaving for Vienna he spent some time in Kragujevac (1833-1835) and painted several icons and portraits. After his return from Vienna, he was once again in the Principality of Serbia and in 1839 he painted his best-known work—Prince Milan Obrenović II on a catafalque, with several notables around him.

He is mostly known for his wall paintings, fresco work in Serbian churches in Osijek, Bijelo Polje, Vukovar, Veliko Gradiste and other cities and towns. Also, his work is on exhibit at the National Museum in Belgrade[3] and Museum of Vuk and Dositej.[4]
