Đorđe Krstić (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђорђе Крстић) was a Serbian realist painter and academic, born in 1851 and died in 1907. He is often placed alongside his contemporaries Paja Jovanović and Uroš Predić, and his importance lies in shaping Serbian painting at the close of the nineteenth century.
A national scholarship allowed him to complete his education in Munich in 1883, and he stayed in Germany for about a decade. There he produced some of his most important works, among them The Drowning Maiden, Anatomist and The Gospel Writer, which show the influence of Symbolist painters.
Back in Serbia, his painting moved from a realist tone toward a more idyllic one, in landscapes such as Kosovo Field Landscape, From the Surroundings of Čačak, Studenica and Žiča. He painted more than fifty works based on Serbian folk art and traditional clothing, drawing also on the country's history, literature and especially its poetry. In his later years he painted several iconostases in Čurug and Niš, working with the architect Mihailo Valtrović, including the controversial Death of Prince Lazar.
He is included in the list of the 100 most prominent Serbs, and his work remains a reference point for Serbian national art.
