Aksentije Marodić (1838–1909) was a Serbian painter from Vojvodina. He was born in Subotica, the son of Maksim, a tailor, and Ljubica. He was an apprentice of painter Petar Pilić in Senta in 1851–55, then of Nikola Aleksić in Novo Miloševo. While receiving many orders from the leading citizens in Subotica, he also worked for the Serbian Orthodox Church; he restored the Bunarić church icons in 1857. The next year he moved to Bečej, where he made acclaimed portraits and painted the church of baroness Jović in 1861. He studied painting at the Vienna Academy until 1866, thanks to benefactors from Subotica and Bečej and also the local government of Subotica. He then lived in Italy, and upon his return published travelogues in the magazines Zastava and Javor in 1874. Josip Juraj Strossmayer, par
