The study aims to present an unpublished icon of St. Demetrius of Thessaloniki, painted by priest Dimitar Kanchov from Tryavna in 1847, together with six other icons from the sovereign tier of the iconostasis of the St. Demetrius Church in Varbitsa, Shumen region. The icons "St. Nicholas”, “Virgin Hodegetria“, „Christ Pantoctator”,“St. John the Baptist”, “St. Theodore Tyron” and “St. Pantaleon” share similar stylistic features. These similarities lead to the conclusion that the six unsigned icons should be also attributed to the hand of priest Dimitar Kanchov, which defines them as one of the largest groups of works by this painter, whose artistic production is scattered throughout Bulgarian lands and has not yet been extensively studied.

New data on the activity of the Tryavna painter Todor Genkov
Todor Genkov (1854-1922) belongs to the old Zaharievi family, from which originated many famous Tryavna painters. He was one of the most productive representatives of the late Tryavna Art School. His icons can be found in many regions of the country – Lovech, Veliko Tarnovo, Gabrovo, Targovishte, Stara Zagora and Burgas. The article presents hitherto unknown icons from the Church of the Assumption in the village of Golyamo Bukovo (Sredets municipality), as well as from the church of St. Demetrius in the village of Ablanitsa (Lovech municipality), where the painter worked in 1899-1900 and was forced by the Lovech Diocesan Council to correct some of his works.

De la moitié du siècle on les trouve à Nessebar, Pomorie, Sozopol et à Brodilovo et Malko Tarnovo en Strandja. Ce sont des examples de l`expansion territorial de l`Ecole artistique de Tryavna. Ses peintres et sculpteurs font la concurrence réussi aux maîtres locaux. Mobilité et adaptation sont les qualités caractéristiques des artistes de Tryavna pendant la long durée de l`Ecole.
